No One Belongs Here More Than You

Stories

By: Miranda July

Narrated by: Miranda July

Named a Top Ten Book of the Year by Time, the bestselling debut story collection by the extraordinarily talented Miranda July, award-winning filmmaker, artist, and author of All Fours, a finalist for the 2024 National Book Award for Fiction.

In No One Belongs Here More Than You, Miranda 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 her characters’ 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.©2007 Miranda July; (P)2007 Simon & Schuster Audio

wonderful!

july's ability to capture the essence of the human spirit is both wonderfully beautiful and tragically sad. offering readers a glimpse into their own perverse natures, july is able to surprise while terrify. a must read!

Thank God for Miranda July.

Miranda July is a great writer and I really enjoyed this collection. I just got done reading her new book All Fours and going back to re-read The First Bad Man. I was left wanting more and this hit the spot. She is truly original and and often absolutely hilarious. She will likely take you outside your comfort zone but is very thought provoking and has expanded my world view.

Love her

One of the greatest artists of our time. I read all three of Miranda July’s books in a row, wish this one was longer.

No One Belongs Here More Than Miranda July

I imagine that this book is a great book to read in any format. July's vivid descriptions and attention to detail create a landscape that the reader lives in completely for the span of a short story. But the vocal performance by July is a work of art in and of itself. She inhabits every character adopting their tone and cadence, expressing their fears and insecurities through subtleties of pitch and volume. She becomes old women and middle aged men and children as they grow up and in all of these roles I find her entirely convincing.

This audiobook is a piece of art that one can experience while biking, walking to the train, doing dishes, or just lying spread out on the bed.

PS: Miranda July fans can spot in this collection the early iterations of several characters that appear later in her novel The First Bad Man.

Not My Cup Of Tea

I can see how this book could be appealing for a large facet of people, but not up my alley. Very well written and I think the author portrayed the stories how they wanted them to be heard and had a good performance.
