“No One Belongs Here More
Than You” by Miranda July
Review Written by Diana
Iozzia
“No One Belongs Here More Than You” was a different
reading experience than I usually have when I read a book of short stories.
This book is full of little stories about love, sex, and other dramatic life
experiences.
The stories are very unique, about topics I have heard
about but I have never read about before. One is about a peep show worker who
is in love with her ex-roommate. I think that it’s important to recognize that
feminists could really enjoy this book, because it’s about love and sexual
freedom. I think that Ms. July tried very hard to create short stories that
other people would read, and truly, they are creative. However, I think that
they are just too much for me. I found myself struggling to read through the
stories, because they weren’t intriguing.
I thought that the fact that every one of the stories was
first person was interesting, but it made it a bit difficult to decipher
between the characters. I can guarantee you can name one of the characters that
existed in the story, but I wouldn’t be able to remember which story they exist
in.
