It Chooses You by Miranda July
4.0
Miranda July;s work manages to make me feel depressed and creepy at the same time.
this is a good thing.
in this book she does a good job of delving into the little sadness-es and realities and joys of regular, if slightly strange, people who place ads in the penny saver.
the last guy, Joe, actually ended up making it into her movie The Future, which was also depressing and a little bit creepy.
Joe's story is achingly touching. actually, they all kind of make your heart ache a little bit. all these people just trying to get by. and miranda july is just trying to get by too.
it's a lonely book, but it's lonely in that communal way, where you realize that sometimes we're all lonely, in the same way. it's like, the human condition and shit.
