Review:
"The novel exploded my expectations and became unlike anything I've ever read . . . hilarious . . . A wry, smart companion on any day. It's warm, it has a heartbeat and a pulse. This is a book that is painfully alive" (The New York Times Book Review)
"Astounding . . . she will make you laugh, cringe and recognise yourself in a woman you never planned to be . . . Never has a novel spoken so deeply to my sexuality, my spirituality, my secret self. I know I am not alone" (LENA DUNHAM)
"I am in awe of Miranda July . . . The First Bad Man brings together all of July's talents - it's a book that must be read, a book that must be purchased - in duplicate - one for you, one for a friend. Don't think you can loan this book - you'll never get it back" (A. M. HOMES author of THIS BOOK WILL SAVE YOUR LIFE and MAY WE BE FORGIVEN)
"Miranda July's heroine in this unforgettable novel is one of the most original, most confounding and strangely sympathetic characters . . . This novel is almost impossible to put down, and confirms July as a novelist of the first order" (DAVE EGGERS)
"July's storytelling skills crackle to life" (New York Times)
"If I ever start to doubt the power of language and intelligence, I only have to read a few lines of July to have my faith restored" (GEORGE SAUNDERS author of TENTH OF DECEMBER)
"The first novel by the filmmaker and artist Miranda July is like one of those strange mythological creatures that are part one thing, part another - a griffin or a chimera, perhaps, or a sphinx . . . An immensely moving portrait of motherhood and what it means to take care of a child . . . July writes of Cheryl's discovery of maternal love with heartfelt emotion and power" (Michiko Kakutani New York Times)
"A book that I love. It is heartbreakingly sad, and thoughtful, and disgusting and hilarious" (Eva Wiseman Observer)
"Weird, hilarious and heartbreaking" (Glamour)
"The First Bad Man is not like other books . . . It's weird. In the most brilliant way. That type of weird that fills you with the urge to tell the whole world about it and to find fellow readers to discuss it with relentlessly" (Stylist)
