Description:
Staff Pick
The short stories in this collection are the best I've ever read. Rather than getting the same writing you see everywhere else, July's prose is pretty much magic. The stories weave in and out of action and the narrator's thoughts so well that you'll love re-reading them. I've read them multiple times. They're that good. Do yourself a favor. Pick it up and read it. Read it! These are people.

Award-winning filmmaker and performing artist Miranda July brings her extraordinary talents to the page in this startling, sexy, tender, and bestselling debut collection.
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.
