Sobre el libro The first man bad man de Miranda July publicado por Canongate al 2021:

From the acclaimed filmmaker, artist, and bestselling author of No One Belongs Here More Than You, a spectacular debut novel that is so heartbreaking, so dirty, so tender, so funny – so Miranda July – readers will be blown away. Here is Cheryl, a tightly-wound, vulnerable woman who lives alone, with a perpetual lump in her throat. She is haunted by a baby boy she met when she was six, who sometimes recurs as other people´s babies. Cheryl is also obsessed with Phillip, a philandering board member at the women´s self-defense non-profit where she works. She believes they´ve been making love for many lifetimes, though they have yet to consummate in this one. When Cheryl´s bosses ask if their twenty-one-year-old daughter Clee can move into her house for a little while, Cheryl´s eccentrically-ordered world explodes. And yet it is Clee – the selfish, cruel blond bombshell – who bullies Cheryl into reality and, unexpectedly, provides her the love of a lifetime. Tender, gripping, slyly hilarious, infused with raging sexual fantasies and fierce maternal love, Miranda July´s first novel confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic and important voice today, and a writer for all time. The First Bad Man is dazzling, disorienting, and unforgettable.
