DESCRIPTION:
Who was the person selling the Large leather Jacket, $10”? It seemed important to find outor at least it was a great distraction from the screenplay.Accompanied by photographer Brigitte Sire, July crisscrossed Los Angeles to meet a random selection of PennySaver sellers, glimpsing thirteen surprisingly moving and profoundly specific realities, along the way shaping her film, and herself, in unexpected ways.Elegantly blending narrative, interviews, and photographs with July’s off-kilter honesty and deadpan humor, this is a story of procrastination and inspiration, isolation and connection, and grabbing hold of the invisible world.. In the summer of 2009, Miranda July was struggling to finish writing the screenplay for her much-anticipated second film. During her increasingly long lunch breaks, she began to obsessively read the PennySaver, the iconic classifieds booklet that reached everywhere and seemed to come from nowhere
Tal Rico said 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 a. This book is so lovely. Erin Heydorn I love Miranda July's work so very much, she has such a unique way of thinking and writing. Each individual story is so interesting, and sometimes so sad or patheticI just love the way she writes about each person. Sometimes when she gets into more personal stories I got a little annoyed, at times it felt a little too self. Worth a look and see if you agree. Rogers Hartmann In my opinion, July looks down on her subjects while exploiting them. And her movie was not great.
Voted a "Can't Miss Read for December 2011" by Oprah Magazine."July, an artist, writer, performer and film-maker who creates work 'about people trying to connect in one way or another and the importance of that' has moved from casual wondering to something substantive and extraordinary."—Hermione Hoby, the Guardian
