I’ve just read (finally) Miranda July‘s book of short stories No One Belongs Here More Than You. When I finished it I closed the book, took a breath, and started over again from the beginning. Some of her words, I swear I’ve thought through the same scenes, dialogues, imagery, ideas in my head and then forgotten them before I’d gotten to a pen and paper. Ever since I saw Me and You and Everyone We Know, I’ve been completely enraptured with everything she does.
If you haven’t seen the movie, see it. I have it, you can borrow it.
If you haven’t read the book, read it. I have it, you can borrow it.
If you want to know more about her (which you should), go to her website (www.mirandajuly.com) or the website for the amazing project she created with Harrell Fletcher called Learning to Love you More (www.learningtoloveyoumore.com).
The amount of emotion in every word he writes, thinks, inks, directs, is amazing. Is perfect. Is inspiring.
