In her latest novel, It Chooses You, Miranda July weaves a captivating and thought-provoking tale that explores the complexities of human relationships, the search for connection, and the transformative power of art.

The story centers around Evelyn, a young woman who finds herself at a crossroads in her life. She is stuck in a dead-end job and is feeling unfulfilled in her personal life. One day, she discovers a mysterious painting hidden in the attic of her apartment building and becomes obsessed with it.

As Evelyn delves into the painting, she begins to experience strange and unsettling events. She hears voices, sees visions, and becomes increasingly drawn into the world of the painting. At the same time, she meets Clyde, a charismatic and enigmatic man who seems to know more about the painting than he lets on.

As Evelyn's obsession with the painting grows, her reality begins to blur with the world of fiction. She becomes entangled in a dangerous and seductive game that forces her to confront her own desires, fears, and the nature of her own identity.

July's writing is both lyrical and unflinching, as she explores the dark and often disturbing undercurrents of human nature. She creates a world that is both familiar and surreal, where the boundaries between reality and imagination become blurred.

It Chooses You is a literary tour de force that is sure to stay with you long after you finish it. It is a novel about the power of art, the search for meaning, and the messy and unpredictable nature of human relationships.

If you are looking for a book that will challenge your preconceptions and make you think deeply about the nature of reality and identity, then I highly recommend It Chooses You.
