Maddening to some and delightful to others, the ultra-ironic Miranda July is pretty much the epitome of twee, a wide-eyed pixie whose writing and films are impossibly cute, but also often incredibly poignant and affecting. Her newest book, It Chooses You, may actually be her most precious work yet, a compendium of prose, photographs and interviews from the time she drove around LA meeting people who were selling random items (kittens, leather jackets, bullfrog tadpoles) in the PennySaver. Even the book itself looks like an adorable cat-based scrapbook, but the stories inside are those of real people and her interest genuine, which makes it all okay by us.
Oh Miranda July….swoon
