Canongate

Titles in This Set: All Fours The First Bad Man No One Belongs Here More Than You Condition: New Format: Paperback Publisher: Canongate Genre: Contemporary Literary Fiction / Short Stories Overview: This three-book paperback set gathers Miranda July's most acclaimed fiction: her Women's Prize-shortlisted novel All Fours, her bestselling debut The First Bad Man, and her award-winning collection No One Belongs Here More Than You. Together they showcase July's singular voice - funny, tender, unsettling and deeply human - across novel and short story forms, making this a brilliant introduction to one of contemporary fiction's most original storytellers. About the Books: All Fours follows a semi-famous artist who abandons a planned cross-country drive thirty minutes after leaving home, instead holing up in a motel for a reinvention that upends her marriage, her sense of self, and her understanding of desire and creativity in midlife. The First Bad Man, July's audacious debut novel, introduces Cheryl, a woman whose rigid, carefully ordered life is thrown into chaos when her employers' twenty-one-year-old daughter moves in, sparking a strange, funny and surprisingly moving story about longing and connection. No One Belongs Here More Than You, winner of the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, gathers stories of ordinary people caught in extraordinary, quietly absurd moments - a woman fixated on Prince William, a swim teacher with an unconventional method, a factory worker who has never been in love. Across all three books, July writes with the same disarming mix of comedy, ache and precise emotional observation, turning small, strange human moments into something universal. Read together, they trace a career defined by risk-taking and empathy, showing how consistently July returns to questions of intimacy, autonomy and reinvention.
