Happy 37th Birthday Miranda July (1 Viewer)

[Gerard K H Love]

N.P.R. ( Garrison Keillor) mentioned that today is Miranda July's birthday. She was born February 15th 1974. She is a writer, film maker, artist and actress.

Her web site.

She is out there, in a good way almost like the Martha Stewart of weirdness.

...and bringing it all back to Bukowski, her father is Richard Grossinger, who was a poet published by Black Sparrow Press....

Whatever, whoever, she's great.

 

[Hosh]

No one deserves a birthday more than her.

And in a move seemingly designed solely to make me jealous, Carol is going to see a preview of Miranda July's new movie on Friday at REDCAT. Me? Oh, thanks for asking! I'll be at work. Or feeding the dog or something. Or wait, I know, drinking! Yeah, that's it. Ha! Bet you can't drink inside REDCAT! Zing!

New Miranda July book from McSweeny's.

 

[Bukfan]

The book title is, "It Chooses You", which is exactly what Buk told a student at a reading when he asked Buk if he would suggest writing as a career - "Writing chooses you, you don't choose it", Buk told him (in the short story, "Would You Suggest Writing As A Career?", from "Erections...").

Me and You and Everyone We Know is the only movie I own. I love it. She's great. Those kids are great!
Learning To Love You More is a really sweet book by her & Harrell Fletcher.

"The Martha Stewart of Weirdness" is a good way to put it.
