Two thousand dollars for the removal of a birthmark. She wouldn't have bothered if she hadn't been what people called "very beautiful except for..."

Miranda July's critically acclaimed debut story collection. Introduced by Miranda July. Read by Bryony Hannah 

Intimate and original, dark, quirky and tender, award-winning filmmaker and performing artist Miranda July brings her extraordinary imagination to the page to produce her first collection of short stories. When first published in 2007, David Eggers wrote; 

"these stories are incredibly charming, beautifully written, frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and even, a dozen or so times, profound." 

David Byrne said; "Miranda July's is a beautiful, odd, original voice - seductive, sometimes erotic and a little creepy too." 

The collection was winner of the Frank O'Connor 2007 International Short Story Award. 

Miranda July's first feature-length film, 'Me You and Everyone We Know', which opened in 2005, won The Caméra d'Or prize in Cannes; the Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival; Best First Feature at the Philadelphia Film Festival; Feature Audience Award for Best Narrative at the San Francisco International Film Festival; and the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Los Angeles Film Festival. 

July's first novel The First Bad Man was published in January 2015. 

Producer: Karen Rose
