Winner of the 2007 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award
'Laden with offbeat, emotionally isolated characters . . . mordantly funny.' Vogue
'Weird doesn't begin to cover it, but wonderful (in the literal sense of the word, as in full of wonder) does.' Elle
In her remarkable stories of seemingly ordinary people living extraordinary lives, Miranda July reveals how a single moment can change everything.
Whether writing about a middle-aged woman's obsession with Prince William, or an aging factory worker who has never been in love, the result is startling, sexy and tender by turns. One of the most acclaimed debuts of the year, Miranda July is a brilliant new voice in fiction.
'A magically oddball study of depression, repression, envy, loneliness and aimlessness - and rarely has such a thing been so entertaining.' Time Out
'The stories and story-fragments keep just the right amount back; twist into something surprising and disconcerting. They are charming and funny, too.' Daily Telegraph
