内容提要：

从早期罕见的受地下女权朋克运动暴女（Riot Grrrl）影响的杂志与表演，到创作具有影响力的电影、小说、雕塑、公共艺术甚至手机应用程序，米兰达·裘丽的职业生涯证明了她对于表达人类困境中的辛酸和幽默的擅长，也因此获得巨大赞誉。本书按时间顺序回顾了她的表演和影像项目、获奖影片、数字多媒体和文字作品，表现了其创作的多维性。裘丽的身份可能无法被归类，但其作品的重要性及其作为具有文化偶像的地位是无可辩驳的。

From her early rarely seen Riot Grrrl-influenced fanzines and performances to a career that has produced seminal films, fiction, sculptures, public art, and even a smartphone app, Miranda July has proven adept at articulating the poignancy and humour of the human plight while also achieving enormous acclaim along the way. This chronological retrospective includes July's performance and video projects, award- winning films, digital multimedia, and written pieces which make clear the multidimensionality of her work. The book includes photography, stills, and archival ephemera and is narrated by friends, collaborators, curators, assistants, and audience members including David Byrne, Spike Jonze, Lena Dunham, Carrie Brownstein, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, as well as July herself. This behind-the-scenes commentary reveals an intimate perspective on the process, struggles, and grit involved in forging one's own path. What emerges is just how singular her voice is-from a movie narrated by an injured cat to a performance that builds an intentional community; from sculpture that engages the public to an interfaith charity shop in a London department store. July may be impossible to categorise, but the importance of her work and her status as an essential cultural icon with wide-ranging appeal is irrefutable.
