SHE ALSO WRITES GREAT SHORT STORIES, DAMN HER
I know, I know, it’s getting ridiculous. But more on Miranda July: Over the weekend I read her short story “Making Love in 2003” in the Fall 2003 “Paris Review” (if you’re interested to the tune of $25 — it’s an extra-big anniversary issue — you can order a copy of the issue here, or you could go to the library) and guess what, it’s fucking great. It’s at home or I’d quote from it. The gist: the narrator loses her virginity to a glowing dark shape. And spends a lot of time driving around.
There is also a story of hers in the Spring 2003 “Paris Review” (also orderable, for a mere $15) which I haven’t read yet.
And a final thing from Annie Wagner (which I’m being forced to post because, as she says, “I’ve already posted like six things about Miranda July”): Some radio plays made by Miranda July for NPR. Go to www.nextbigthing.org and do a search for the lady’s name. There are several to choose from.
