A 2024 BOOK OF THE YEAR PICK FOR BBC R4 OPEN BOOK, THE OBSERVER, GQ, GRAZIA, HERO, I-D, NYLONA 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
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
More Praise for Miranda July: 'Wry, smart . . . exceptional -- LAUREN GROFF
One of the most original voices to appear in fiction -- DAVE EGGERS
Leaves one thrillingly breathless -- LORRIE MOORE
I am in awe of Miranda July -- AM HOMES
