Another Reason Why Miranda July Is The Coolest Writer-Chick In The World

Her promo site for No One Belongs Here More Than You has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Make sure you scroll through the whole site.

My Newest Girl-Writer Crush

Her name is Miranda July.

She's a short story writer, screenwriter/actor/director, performance artist and all-around funky chick. (Check out "How To Tell Stories To Children" in the current Zoetrope: All-Story and her film, Me & You & Everyone We Know.)

She was born in Barre, VT, grew up in Berkeley and is only a year younger than I am. Oh: and Timothy Leary was her godfather.

Her first short story collection, No One Belongs Here More Than You, is due out in May.

I'm so there.
