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, tender and sexy by turns.
Miranda July is a brilliant new voice in fiction.

"There's beauty and tenderness here as well as great wit and, like the best stories, a delicious sense of the unexpected" (Metro)
"Intimate, original and more than a little strange, these are tales about people who are baffled and often overwhelmed by life." (Daily Mail)
"Blisteringly good" (Guardian)

"Magically oddball . . . rarely has such a thing been so entertaining" (Time Out)
"A stunning collection ... from a wonderfully quirky and highly original writer" (Venue)

"Astonishingly good . . . mordantly funny" (Vogue)
"July's inventive tales swing from laugh-out-loud funny to heart-clenchingly sad" (Daily Telegraph)
