Click cover to read an excerpt on NPR. No One Belongs Here More Than You
Miranda July does not coast around uncomfortable issues. She dives right in, witnessing the dark landscapes of her characters’ lives. This collection of short stories is intriguing, uncomfortable, comical and depressing. You may blush, overt your gaze, laugh, or be stunned. Either way, you will read, and perhaps reread each tale.
I respected the characters in their honesty and lack of apology or embarrassment. These are folks lost in World, and some have fallen between the cracks of society. Not many understand or relate to them, but they don’t ask for such justification---they are true only to themselves.
The four different fluorescent colored covers will attract your eyes. The text that follows will further the distraction from your usual summer chick lit reads.

I read one of this lady's stories somewhere else and loved it. I like her classy-stripper name and also her book title. Good call, Jennifer.
