About This Item
San Francisco, CA: McSweeney's, Irregulars, 2011. 1st Edition . Hardcover. As New/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Signed by author on title page in black fountain ink. In the summer of 2009, Miranda July was struggling to finish writing the screenplay for her much-anticipated second film. During her increasingly long lunch breaks, she began to obsessively read the PennySaver, the iconic classifieds booklet that reached everywhere and seemed to come from nowhere. Who was the person selling the "Large leather Jacket, $10"? It seemed important to find out-or at least it was a great distraction from the screenplay. Accompanied by photographer Brigitte Sire, July crisscrossed Los Angeles to meet a random selection of PennySaver sellers, glimpsing thirteen surprisingly moving and profoundly specific realities, along the way shaping her film, and herself, in unexpected ways. legantly blending narrative, interviews, and photographs with July's off-kilter honesty and deadpan humor, this is a story of procrastination and inspiration, isolation and connection, and grabbing hold of the invisible world. With photographs by Brigitte Sire.As new, first edition, firsprinting, in pictorial boards, as issued without dust jacket. [Not remainder-marked or price- lipped] BUND
