Episode 100E: Carmen Maria Machado

Tuck chats with author Carmen Maria Machado (she/her) to wrap up Cis Day of Visibility. Topics include:

  • The horrors of living in a gendered body
  • Doing a press tour about your trauma
  • Writing about gender without having an answer
  • Is the pandemic more or less horny than Carmen's 2013 short story?
  • Also: vampire sex, ghosts touching, and "gender: yes or no?"

Follow Carmen on IG @carmenmmachado, and find Her Body and Other Parties and In the Dream House wherever books are sold. The referenced vampire interview is available on Electric Lit.
