VOXThe 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 CutA 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.
