Early in Carmen Maria Machado's career, she decided to merge the two styles of writing she was pursuing: the literary and the erotic.Her first two books, Her Body and Other Parties and In the Dream House, are marked by her skillful blending of emotional incisiveness and erotic physicality.It was Machado's interest in works that demolish the assumed boundary between the literary and erotic texts that led her to Violette Leduc's infamous novella Thérèse and Isabelle.
