Publisher's summary

In a series of stories that are shocking, sexy, charming, and ultimately unforgettable, Miranda July explores the hearts and minds of characters who are desperate for human connection and yet don't know what to do when it actually happens.

In the brilliant opening story, "The Shared Patio", a woman longs to share her neighbor's life, but learns that her fantasy of him has no resemblance to reality. In "The Swim Team", a young woman teaches three elderly citizens in a town with no water how to swim. A man who works at a leather factory gets set-up by his co-worker for a date that never arrives in "The Sister". In "Something That Needs Nothing", a young woman's job at a peep show changes her identity in the eyes of her friend, allowing their relationship to take a different course.

In these stories, Miranda July shows a remarkable skill for inhabiting the hearts and minds of a varied cast of characters, imbuing them with a tenderness and humanity that is the mark of a great writer.

Featured Article: The Audiobooks I Wish I Had Listened to Sooner (As a Late-Blooming Lesbian)


Not all of these audiobooks are centered around coming out, but they all lend themselves to self-reflection and to ultimately closing the chasm between the person as is and the person self-actualized, standing in their truth. If you are questioning your sexuality or place in the world, know that you are not, and never will be, alone. These listens will bring you solace, companionship along the way, and a newfound closeness to your most authentic self.

One of the best

Having listened to audiobooks for over twenty years, this is one of the best. Wanted to re-start it after it was finished. The author paints unbelievable secnarios, that stretch the imagination. Ordinary thoughts suddenly have extraordinary outcomes. Characters are complex, disturbing and likeable. It has been a along time since I have been so in awe of sheer writing.

Brilliant.

A wonderful collection of stories that could only have been written by Miranda July. The entire audiobook is filled with her unique brand of awkward comedy. As strange as it may be, it almost feels organic, as if these were real stories, filled with details.

No one else could have read it as well as she did. Must have for any Miranda July fan.

yes

Awesome book. Great narration by the author. There were a few things I disliked, but these minor things didn't take away from the overall audiobook. The author should quit writing and narrate audio full time.

Reads your mind

No one compares to Miranda when it comes to describing the many many strange feelings and parts of human nature previously unattended by other writers.

Like David Foster Wallace

Would you listen to No One Belongs Here More Than You again? Why?

Yes because Miranda July describes people's interior mental states as well as anyone besides David Foster Wallace. On that score, she's even better than George Saunders.

It is a book you can listen story by story, but you need to listen to the complete story before pausing it.

Miranda July is so unique it blows my mind

Impossible to describe. Miranda July is just one of those authors that you love, or you don't because you're a little stupid ;)

Yuk

This is probably the stupidest book I've ever run into. Did a publisher actually pay money for it? I'm very sorry I did!

No One Belongs Here More Than Miranda July

I imagine that this book is a great book to read in any format. July's vivid descriptions and attention to detail create a landscape that the reader lives in completely for the span of a short story. But the vocal performance by July is a work of art in and of itself. She inhabits every character adopting their tone and cadence, expressing their fears and insecurities through subtleties of pitch and volume. She becomes old women and middle aged men and children as they grow up and in all of these roles I find her entirely convincing.

This audiobook is a piece of art that one can experience while biking, walking to the train, doing dishes, or just lying spread out on the bed.

PS: Miranda July fans can spot in this collection the early iterations of several characters that appear later in her novel The First Bad Man.
