Sinossi
Pubblicata per la prima volta nel 2007, questa raccolta di racconti ha segnato l'esordio letterario di un'artista poliedrica e inclassificabile. Con la sua voce originale, sexy e tenera a un tempo, Miranda July racconta storie folgoranti di personaggi apparentemente ordinari, tristi e sofferenti per l'intensità dei desideri che la loro vita non ha esaudito. È il caso delle due ragazze che scappano da casa per trasferirsi in città, dell'improbabile amicizia tra una donna single e la figlia dei suoi amici sposati, della trappola tesa da un anziano a un giovane collega. Tra le pagine si rincorrono idiosincrasie e corrispondenze segrete, sul filo della stravagante logica e dell'infinita nostalgia che governa le vite dei protagonisti. Allo stesso tempo, però, July ammette la possibilità di un singolo momento in grado di cambiare tutto: una rivelazione, un malinteso, un evento apparentemente insignificante. Attraverso la sua penna, il quotidiano si eleva per mostrare una visione del mondo incantata, poetica e immaginifica.

Recensioni
Bizarre tales, exquisitely written. Really captivating and so unique.
I bought this book cause I was walking through a bookstore with a friend of mine... a friend I adore more than newborn puppies and tiny rabbits hopping in fields of grass, and she said, "MIRANDA JULY! I love her. She made the movie You, Me, and Everyone We Know." I hadn't seen the movie, but I remem Leggi tutto
july’s style is very reminiscent of emma cline/ottessa moshfegh (or maybe the other way around as she published first lol) which i inherently enjoy. however, the stories in this collection felt aimless and failed to leave any kind of impact on me.
This was so not what I was expecting. No One Belongs Here More Than You has got to be one of the worst books I've read in years. I can't even recall the last time I was this appalled by a short story collection. I started off my reading experience thinking this would follow the usual way of having no Leggi tutto
Note: If I could fashion a little half-star and put it in the rating, I would give this book at 3.5. Miranda July: she's the lightning-rod hipster conversation of the year. I say her name at dinners and people rise from their chairs to damn or bless her. They pace and sweat and expound upon why she
I swear to Christ if I read one more slim selfsatisfied volume of "witty" short fiction where everybody talks like a fucking Grad Student I'm going to hit myself in the brain with a ballpeen hammer until I'm illiterate.
I hate to say this, but I really did not enjoy the experience of reading past the first two stories or so. After a while I just couldn't figure out the appeal of a book that is packed cover to cover with disingenuous, childlike, wide-eyed, self-destructive women who are really just ciphers that thin Leggi tutto
Today there was a fire at London Zoo. The BBC newsreader solemnly informed us that one person was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation and several more staff members were treated on site. Then she said “An aardvark is presumed dead and five meerkats are currently unaccounted for”. Miranda July wou Leggi tutto
