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 novel that
presses into that tender bruise about the anxiety of aging of what it means to have a female
body that is aging and wanting the freedom to live a fuller life . . . Deeply funny and
achingly true.” — LA Times “July’s novel is hot and weird and captivating and one of the
most entertaining deranged and moving depictions of lust and romantic mania I’ve ever read.”
— New York Magazine 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.
