Miranda July wrote a book

No One Belongs Here More Than You: Stories by Miranda July

Award-winning filmmaker and performing artist Miranda July brings her extraordinary talents to the page in a startling, sexy, and tender collection. In these stories, July gives the most seemingly insignificant moments a sly potency. A benign encounter, a misunderstanding, a shy revelation can reconfigure the world. Her characters engage awkwardly -- they are sometimes too remote, sometimes too intimate. With great compassion and generosity, July reveals their idiosyncrasies and the odd logic and longing that govern their lives. No One Belongs Here More Than You is a stunning debut, the work of a writer with a spectacularly original and compelling voice.

And an article on it: Filmmaker Miranda July's New Book 'No One Belongs Here More Than You' -- New York Magazine


It was published back in May but I only just heard about it. Has anyone got it? Should I buy it? I want to but I have to watch my money.

this is the magazine article i found out about it in. i'm just posting it because i love the photo. i wish i had cute turquoise-coloured suitcases.
and also the article is interesting. if you can read it.
also i'm wondering why it's taken so long for this book to be reviewed, talked about etc. probably has something to do with book snobs.
