Su questo libro

Recensione:

* Astounding ... with the frank, odd lilt of an utterly truthful character, she will make you laugh, cringe and recognize yourself in a woman you never planned to be. By the time July tackles motherhood, the book has become a bible. Never has a novel spoken so deeply to my sexuality, my spirituality, my secret self. I know I am not alone -- LENA DUNHAM * Blisteringly good Guardian on NO ONE BELONGS HERE MORE THAN YOU * These stories are incredibly charming, beautifully written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and even, a dozen or so times, profound -- DAVE EGGERS on NO ONE BELONGS HERE MORE THAN YOU * Miranda July's is a beautiful, odd, original voice - seductive, sometimes erotic, and a little creepy too --David Byrne
