I finished Miranda July's book of short stories No One Belongs Here More Than You. This was my first collection of July's stories I've read (I did see one of her short films on Wolphin) and it wasn't what I expected.
Her stories and characters are eclectic, almost bizarre.
One "Swim Coach" is about a woman who teaches a group of seniors how to swim...even though there's not a pool for miles. She lays out bowls of water and the "students" put their faces in the bowl and "swim" around the kitchen.
The last story "How to Tell Stories to Children" doesn't end the way I thought it would, but it is touching and thought-provoking.
