Review
Blisteringly good ― * Guardian *
Intimate, original and more than a little strange, these are tales about people who are baffled and often overwhelmed by life. ― * Daily Mail *
July's short fiction is quirky and self-consciously postmodern in style . . . The best of her stories adds a depth of emotional truth which can persuade you to believe in her most oddball worlds. -- Helen Chappell ― * Tribune *

'A magically oddball study of depression, repression, envy, loneliness and aimlessness - and rarely has such a thing been so entertaining.' Time Out
'The stories and story-fragments keep just the right amount back; twist into something surprising and disconcerting. They are charming and funny, too.' Daily Telegraph

Synopsis
In her debut collection of short stories, July introduces the possibility of a moment that can change everything. A child stands in the sidewalk; a woman lies motionless in bed beside her husband; a teacher pauses at the chalkboard; when suddenly the daily drone is disrupted by something completely unexpected. July's characters are awkward and often remote, yet they are also profoundly sympathetic. With great compassion and generosity she reveals the idiosyncrasies, vulnerability, longing, and odd logic that govern our lives. In "No One Belongs Here More Than You July" creates a deliriously hopeful universe where strangers hug and students swim across the kitchen floor. The same energy that captivates her film audiences is transposed into exhilarating new fiction.
