01.22: Miranda July

2014-12-18 20:04:24| Powells Books Events Calendar

From the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of No One Belongs Here More Than You comes a spectacular debut novel that is so heartbreaking, so dirty, so tender, so funny — so Miranda July — that readers will be blown away. Here is Cheryl, a tightly wound, vulnerable woman who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat. She is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six, who sometimes recurs as other people's babies. Cheryl is also obsessed with Phillip, a philandering board member at the women's self-defense nonprofit where she works. She believes they've been making love for many lifetimes, though they have yet to consummate in this one. When Cheryl's bosses ask if their 21-year-old daughter, Clee, can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl's eccentrically ordered world explodes. And yet it is Clee — the selfish, cruel blond bombshell — who bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, provides her the love of a lifetime. Tender, gripping, slyly hilarious, infused with raging sexual obsession and fierce maternal love, Miranda July's first novel confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic, and important voice today, and a writer for all time. The First Bad Man (Scribner) is dazzling, disorienting, and unforgettable.
