    <body><![CDATA[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.<br/><br/>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.]]></body>
