"It Chooses You" is both a quirky exploration of the human condition and a meditation on creativity, offering a unique perspective on finding meaning and beauty in unexpected places.
"It Chooses You" by Miranda July is a non-fiction book that blends memoir, storytelling, and social commentary. The book was born out of a period of procrastination while July was struggling to finish her screenplay for the film "The Future." In her quest to find inspiration, she became fascinated with the classifieds in the "PennySaver," a free publication featuring ads for items for sale.
July decides to interview the people behind these ads, traveling around Los Angeles to meet them. The resulting portraits are deeply human, revealing the stories, dreams, and everyday realities of a diverse group of individuals. Each encounter is documented with photographs and reflective commentary, offering insights into the nature of chance, connection, and the choices that shape our lives.
