I really liked most of the stories and I reviewed this book on my blog. It’s called. Macy makes magic if you would like to read my review you can check it out. ( ) Kurze Inhaltsangabe Ein junges Mädchen verliebt sich in ein geheimnisvolles Wesen, einen körperlosen Schatten, der nachts von ihr Besitz ergreift. Ihr Glück ist vollkommen, bis sie den schrecklichen Fehler begeht, etwas Wunderbares für etwas Wirkliches aufzugeben. Ein Mann und eine Frau haben sich nicht mehr viel zu sagen, bis sie als Statisten auf einem Filmset ein turtelndes Paar im Restaurant spielen sollen – und es auf einmal wieder sind. In Miranda Julys Erzählungen wird das Alltägliche wieder zum Wunder und das Skurrile so selbstverständlich wie Gespräche übers Wetter. Sechzehn Stories von bizarr bis sexy, von zärtlich bis verstörend. Like a three-year Ecstasy binge ever chasing that first high, "No one belongs here more than you" by Miranda July, grips you with its clever prose comprising the opening pages, then leaves you feeling sketched and ashamed you rode it out until the end. The rest of the stories belong in the back issues of Penthouse Letters. Worn out stories about sex with inanimate objects, sex for money, sex with the same sex, sex with prepubescent children. If this be modern literature, it is a perfect example why the publishing industry is dying. Don't waste your time. There is nothing edgy, nothing brave, and certainly nothing original about this collection. Unlike Miranda's work in other media, which is often often upbeat, surreal, or almost horrific, these stories are imbued by sadness. Miranda's sensibility is very much evident, even in the relatively straightforward pieces. Almost all the stories (some are just short sketches) are about women trying to connect with someone else, although it goes without saying that they are all very different from one another. I was thinking that this book was slightly less good then some of her other work, and that maybe writing really wasn't Miranda's forte, and then a few of the longer pieces in the second half of the book really hit it out of the park. So, amazing book, a total must-read. I say this, tho, as a Miranda July fan. Someone not familiar with her might want to see the movie before reading the book, just to have a frame of reference. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
