No One Belongs Here More Than You

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.
