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.

Critic reviews

"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)

Excellent

Loved it. Content warming - explicit sexuality and sexual acts. Really enjoyed it. Not listened to anything quite like it before. Heard about it after listening to the author on Esther Perel’s podcast and became intrigued. The book did not disappoint. Have recommended to other women in their 40s!

Sublime

Utterly sublime from start to finish. The book is read by the author Miranda July and this is everything, nothing else would fit. I highly recommend for all.

Breathtaking again and again

This book made me weep, gasp and love myself. Healing and expanding the soul on repeat until the end. I will listen to this again and again. July’s voice is a soothing balm.

magically raw, truly special

There’s a deep place in my heart for readers who write from the heart and then read their work with such passion. Rarely do you get both. Thank you Marinda!
