Inside the mind of an author . . .


Author websites can vary as much by the publisher as by the author. Most are filled with bios, a works section, screensavers, backgrounds, and other "must-haves" of today's internet world. But some stand out for what they don't offer.

Miranda July's website doesn't give you anything—except a little insight into the mind of an author. Miranda's uses a marker and a stovetop to create a clever bit of storytelling that tells you so much more about her than all the normal stuff. It's intriguing, simple, and effective. In the end, of course, it's just another ploy to get you to buy her book No One Belongs Here More Than You, but it's a fun journey anyway. And don't forget to go back to the beginning if you haven't seen that. It offers even more insight into Miranda's world.
. . . GO NOW.
