NAMED A MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK OF 2024 BY OPRAH DAILY, PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, NYLON AND THE GUARDIAN! The New York Times bestselling author returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious and surprising novel about a woman upending her life
“A brilliant, sexy, funny, ludicrously entertaining primal scream of a coming-of-middle-age story… Beyond-dazzling, eyes-wide-open fiction.”—Booklist, STARRED review
“A frank and delirious ode to love in all its forms… just as brilliantly funny and strangely touching as you might expect.” —Vogue
“Hilarious, sexy, and wonderfully weird... a revelation.”—Publishers Weekly
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.

Pressezitat
Praise for All Fours:I found myself reading All Fours in solitude, because as I read I d started making sounds that were recognizably laughter but were also expulsions of heartbreak and what I ll call a cleansing sorrow. If the United States had the good sense to name national treasures, I d nominate Miranda July. Michael Cunningham, author of Day
"A giddy, bold, mind-blowing tour de force by one of our most important literary writers." George Saunders, Booker-Prize winning author of Lincoln in the Bardo
"Profound and bawdy and deeply human, a brilliant work of art from a completely blown-open and fearless mind." Emma Cline, New York Times bestselling author of The Guest
"Characteristically witty, startlingly intimate. . .This tender, strange treatise on getting out from the prefab structures of a conventional life is quintessentially July. Kirkus

Hilarious, sexy, and wonderfully weird... a revelation. Publishers Weekly, STARRED review
There have been few works of contemporary fiction about menopause, and even fewer that are as erotic and funny All Fours is undeniably victorious. BookPage, STARRED review

kinds of stories were possible something Sally Rooney and I have in common. In her second novel, July brings her singular brand of sardonic melancholia and wide-eyed wisdom to bear on this tale of a semi-famous middle-aged artist who decides to take a left turn from the left turn she had already planned. Electric Literature
This is a gut-punch of a novel, a must-read for every woman nearing or over forty, confronting the malaise of midlife, fertility, marriage, and menopause, packaged in July s delirious style. LitHub
