Publisher's summary

In a series of stories that are shocking, sexy, charming, and ultimately unforgettable, Miranda July explores the hearts and minds of characters who are desperate for human connection and yet don't know what to do when it actually happens.

In the brilliant opening story, "The Shared Patio", a woman longs to share her neighbor's life, but learns that her fantasy of him has no resemblance to reality. In "The Swim Team", a young woman teaches three elderly citizens in a town with no water how to swim. A man who works at a leather factory gets set-up by his co-worker for a date that never arrives in "The Sister". In "Something That Needs Nothing", a young woman's job at a peep show changes her identity in the eyes of her friend, allowing their relationship to take a different course.

In these stories, Miranda July shows a remarkable skill for inhabiting the hearts and minds of a varied cast of characters, imbuing them with a tenderness and humanity that is the mark of a great writer.

Featured Article: The Audiobooks I Wish I Had Listened to Sooner (As a Late-Blooming Lesbian)


Not all of these audiobooks are centered around coming out, but they all lend themselves to self-reflection and to ultimately closing the chasm between the person as is and the person self-actualized, standing in their truth. If you are questioning your sexuality or place in the world, know that you are not, and never will be, alone. These listens will bring you solace, companionship along the way, and a newfound closeness to your most authentic self.

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.

One of the best

Having listened to audiobooks for over twenty years, this is one of the best. Wanted to re-start it after it was finished. The author paints unbelievable secnarios, that stretch the imagination. Ordinary thoughts suddenly have extraordinary outcomes. Characters are complex, disturbing and likeable. It has been a along time since I have been so in awe of sheer writing.

Miranda July is so unique it blows my mind

Impossible to describe. Miranda July is just one of those authors that you love, or you don't because you're a little stupid ;)

funny, sad, real, and not recommended for survivors of childhood abuse.

i laughed and cried listening to these stories on a drive with my husband from florida to massachusetts. i adored miranda july, wanted to read everything ever, was repulsed by her, felt like she knew secret things about me and my family and my birthmark! i would highly recommend this, but as a therapist and person sensitive to other people's experiences of trauma, i have to give a little "trigger warning" or whatever, because there's a lot of sex, and some of it is coercive and/or creepy. id say the major themes in these stories are self awareness/consciousness and pedophilia.

Like David Foster Wallace

Would you listen to No One Belongs Here More Than You again? Why?

Yes because Miranda July describes people's interior mental states as well as anyone besides David Foster Wallace. On that score, she's even better than George Saunders.

MJ reading her own brutally honest stories.Stellar

Miranda July is a gift from the creative gods.
she's not of this our world. Her description of life events are coming from a being that is experiencing these events for the first time.

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.
