A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR
A WASHINGTON POST NOTABLE BOOK OF THE YEAR ONE OF TIME MAGAZINE'S TOP 10 FICTION BOOKS OF 2024
ONE OF NPR'S "BOOKS WE LOVE" 2024 NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY:
THE NEW YORKER ● VOGUE ● FINANCIAL TIMES ● OPRAH DAILY ● VULTURE ● VOX The New York Times bestselling author returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious and surprising novel about a woman upending her life
"A frank novel about a midlife awakening, which is funnier and more boldly human than you ever quite expect . . . nothing short of riveting." --Vogue "All Fours has spurred a whisper network of women fantasizing about desire and freedom. . . . It's the talk of every group text."--The New York Times "All Fours possessed me. I picked it up and neglected my life until the last page, and then I started begging every woman I know to read it as soon as possible." --The Cut
A semi-famous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country, from LA to NY. Thirty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, checks into a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in an entirely different journey. Miranda July's second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July's wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman's quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.

Well weitten
Published by Sara bear , 1 month ago
I could not put this book down. Something about watching someone else unravel is mesmerizing. The author wrote a common scenario in a new way that had my hooked. I finished this in 3 days.
Not the story I thought it would be
Published by LML , 8 months ago
I thought this was going to be the story of a 45 year old dealing in a funny way with growing older. Aside from mentioning menopause a few times this was just an emotional crisis that could happen at any age. I liked the style of writing but I really didn't like the main character. She was obsessive and self centered and let the excuse that she was a creative poet/writer excuse her behavior. I was looking for the 45-55 year old's version of, "Are You There God? It's Me Margaret", but this book wasn't it.
