It Chooses You Review: I'd say it's a tour de force but I don't know what that means... - Before buying this book, I think you have to consider that it is inherently weaker when viewed as a stand-alone work. I think the full weight of the book (and title) is realized when it is taken as a companion piece to the author's recent film "The Future." That being said, I think this book is definitely worth buying but also, definitely worth reading after seeing the movie. But, in short, this book is an eccentric, and somewhat enviable, exercise in procrastination. Miranda July, in an effort to avoid working on a looming screenplay, pushes herself beyond the normal, typically fruitless and non-constructive StumbleUpon sessions most of us fill our time with. She picks up a copy of the local PennySaver and looks to the classifieds for some sort of cosmic understanding through the mundane or curious items listed and the people who are selling them. A narrative ties all of the interviews together and lends some insight as to what compels the author to continue conducting interviews. Because it's mostly handled with wit and saddled with the author's neuroses it doesn't come across as pedantic or preachy, she only seems to be looking for some practical enlightenment. Really, though, it's more a story of the journey than anything she may have learned through it. Still, like all of Miranda July's work, it feels poignant and significant and I can never quite say why. I do know that I feel somehow fulfilled whenever I read her books, watch her movies or browse her website. Review: Brilliant and Moving - Miranda July is such a unique and brilliant mind. I love they way she understands the world around her. Her voice is spectacular and so sensitive. I love everything she writes. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #592,864 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #280 in Photo Essays (Books) #569 in Art of Film & Video #1,298 in Pop Culture Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (349) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.75 x 8 inches | | Edition | First Trade Paper | | ISBN-10 | 1938073010 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1938073014 | | Item Weight | 15 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | July 31, 2012 | | Publisher | McSweeney's | ## Images ![It Chooses You - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/816Y-4CMfTL.jpg) ![It Chooses You - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31+wRuJyo2L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'd say it's a tour de force but I don't know what that means... *by T***O on November 16, 2011* Before buying this book, I think you have to consider that it is inherently weaker when viewed as a stand-alone work.

I love they way she understands the world around her. Her voice is spectacular and so sensitive. I love everything she writes. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ You knew what you were getting into *by K***R on May 2, 2018* If its precious -Ness makes you roll your eyes a few times, apparently you are not familiar with her work. But it was a fascinating and moving exploration of the vast expanse of humanity, a thoughtful reminder that everyone has as detailed a life as we do.
