“Written while July was struggling to finish the screenplay for her recently released film, It Chooses You is a kind of memoir made up of interviews with people Miranda July met through the PennySaver classified ads. July is one of those artists that people supposedly either Love or Hate, and haters gonna hate but the thing that draws me to her work is that July’s eyes and mind are wide open. While she’s bursting with empathy, she’s not naive and her art, however expressed, always seems to be searching for her own naked truth . . . and it’s funny. How can you not love someone like that? A quick, good read.”—Shana, Ravenna Third Place, Seattle. Buy It Chooses You from Third Place Books.
