It Chooses You by Miranda July
5.0
This book made me overwhelmingly sad and overwhelmingly happy at all once.
This book wasn't what I expected, but that's okay. Part of Miranda July's appeal, I think, is that you have to follow her thought process wherever it goes. Sometimes it's uncomfortable or gross or sad, but I think these things make the end discovery (wherever it is that you wind up) that much more beautiful. Her work feels very stream of consciousness, and I think that's what makes it so visceral. You have to follow along, and it often isn't going where you think.
This book isn't for everyone. Miranda July isn't for everyone. But her work is among my favorite, and I'm regretting not finding her sooner.
