About this listen
A 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR PICK FOR BBC R4 OPEN BOOK, THE OBSERVER, GQ, GRAZIA, HERO, I-D, NYLON
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, beds down in a nondescript motel and immerses herself in a temporary reinvention that turns out to be the start of 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 45-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectations 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.

"A giddy, bold, mind-blowing tour de force by one of our most important literary writers. Funny, honest, rich with the energy of the mind, All Fours will jump-start your relation to language and cause you to think anew about the nature of desire." (GEORGE SAUNDERS)
"All Fours is profound and bawdy and deeply human, a brilliant work of art from a completely blown open and fearless mind." (EMMA CLINE)

Good!
The author herself reads it out. Very engaging, rather funny. I heard about the book from the New Yorker Critics podcast. I don't really relate to the character or the story (I'm a 26 year old woman from small town India) but I still chuckled at some instances. Good read!

incredibly and unabashedly diffrent
i think this is the first feminist book i jave ever read or it feels like the only feminist book ever written. It is so unapologetic that it makes you remove those blinders from your own eyes and confront your weird reality.
