No One Belongs Here More Than You: Stories

&quot;These delightful stories do that essential-but-rare story thing: they <i>surprise</i>. They skip past the quotidian, the merely real, to the essential, and do so with a spirit of tenderness and wonder that is wholly unique. They are (let me coin a phrase) <i>July-esque</i>, which is to say: infused with wonder at the things of the world.&quot; - George Saunders, author of <i>Tenth of December</i><br><br>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. <i>No One Belongs Here More Than You</i> is a stunning debut, the work of a writer with a spectacularly original and compelling voice.
