Miranda July recommends

Stag Dance (2025)
Torrey Peters
"Torrey Peters is often describing something that has never been described before and it's never something minor, it's something massive that has been missing from our understanding and enjoyment of the world. Stag Dance is hot, heartbreaking and thrillingly victorious."
thumb
Small Rain (2024)
Garth Greenwell
"I just didn't put it down . . . Very romantic, incredibly moving."
thumb
Colored Television (2024)
Danzy Senna
"I couldn't stop turning the pages, and only when it was all over did I realize what Senna had done. Addictive, hilarious and relatable, yes, but Colored Television is after something larger and more elusive, a very modern reckoning with the ambiguities triangulated by race, class, creativity and love. She nails it."
