Listen "Miranda July Wrote the Book She Couldn’t Find"
Episode Synopsis
Writer, artist, and filmmaker Miranda July has a devoted – even rabid – following, through her writing, her work on the screen, and her collaborative art projects. Her debut 2007 collection of short stories No One Belongs Here More Than You was a publishing sensation, and her debut film, Me and You and Everyone We Know, won the Palme D’Or at Cannes Film Festival. This week, she and Michael discuss her new novel, All Fours, which explores desire, intimacy, dance, and an often overlooked part of the ageing process.Reading list:BooksNo One Belongs Here More Than You, Miranda July, 2007The First Bad Man, Miranda July, 2019All Fours, Miranda July, 2024Short Stories‘Roy Spivey’, Miranda July, 2009 (The New Yorker)‘The Metal Bowl’, Miranda July, 2017 (The New Yorker)‘Women Have Been Misled About Menopause’, Susan Dominus, 2023 (The New York Times)What Fresh Hell Is This?, Heather Corinna, 2021Long Island, Colm Tóibín, 2024You can find these books and all the others we mentioned at your favourite independent book store.
