Blisteringly good
* Guardian *
There's beauty and tenderness here as well as great wit and, like the best stories, a delicious sense of the unexpected
* Metro *
A stunning collection ... from a wonderfully quirky and highly original writer
* Venue *
July's short fiction is quirky and self-consciously postmodern in style ... The best of her stories adds a depth of emotional truth which can persuade you to believe in her most oddball worlds.
- Helen Chappell, * Tribune *
Surprising, amusing and touching ... they'll fill you with a renewed sense of wonder at the world
* Venue *
Magically oddball ... rarely has such a thing been so entertaining
* Time Out *
July's inventive tales swing from laugh-out-loud funny to heart-clenchingly sad
* Daily Telegraph *
These stories are incredibly charming, beautifully written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and even, a dozen or so times, profound
- DAVE EGGERS,
Astonishingly good ... mordantly funny
* Vogue *
Intimate, original and more than a little strange, these are tales about people who are baffled and often overwhelmed by life.
* Daily Mail *
Miranda July's is a beautiful, odd, original voice - seductive, sometimes erotic, and a little creepy too
- DAVID BYRNE,
Wonderful
* Elle *
The stories have a frank, direct tone that makes their loopiness charming ... July delights in revealing the unseen awkwardness of the everyday, and this collection is both resonant and complex
* Financial Times *
July's writing has a whimsical, dreamlike quality ... she has an understanding of human truths and an extraordinary honesty about our wish for acceptance
* Guardian *
Charming and funny
* Daily Telegraph *
Exquisite
* LA Times *
July's stories startle us at every turn, sometimes by their sexual frankness, sometimes by passages of impossibly lush eloquence ... and very often by their inventiveness
* San Francisco Chronicle *
Who will Miranda July's work appeal to? To borrow the name of her lovely first film, Me and You and Everyone We Know
* Entertainment Weekly *
Moving ... this collection features characters laughing, crying and thinking. Read the stories and you'll do the same
* i-D *
A considered and engaging new talent
* Spectator *
