Praise
Praise for All Fours:
“An intimate, fearless, and sexy coming-of-middle-age story . . [a] wonderfully weird adventure.” –TIME
“Miranda July may be one of the most interesting writers working today…All Fours announces itself as a scream and an uncontrollable laugh, shining a light on the absurdity of the left turns one takes on their way to midlife. But underneath the strangeness and irreverence rests a notable sense of vulnerability that will leave readers awe-struck of July’s daring.”—Chicago Review of Books
“[T]he midlife-crisis novel has climbed out of the red convertible and ditched the dude behind the wheel. Now the multitalented Ms. July pushes this trope to its hilarious limit… [All Fours is] the sexiest book we have read in years.”—Oprah Daily
“Atmospheric, sexy and totally unexpected.”—People
“Funny, sexy and irreverent…with wry wit and curiosity about human intimacy, All Fours is about the reinvention of the sexual, romantic and domestic life of a 45-year-old female artist.”—PureWow
“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
“Sharply funny…All Fours focuses on the boundary lines of human connection and sexuality, in this case, while exploring the desires and creative instincts of a woman in the transitional time of middle age. July enters this territory with humor and heart, leaving readers with plenty to chew on.” —W Magazine
“Characteristically witty, startlingly intimate. . .This tender, strange treatise on getting out from the ‘prefab structures’ of a conventional life is quintessentially July.”—Kirkus
“A brilliant, sexy, funny, ludicrously entertaining primal scream of a coming-of-middle-age story… Beyond-dazzling, eyes-wide-open fiction.”—Booklist, STARRED review
“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
“A frank novel about a midlife awakening, which is funnier and more boldly human than you ever quite expect….the bravery of All Fours is nothing short of riveting.” —Vogue
“A sexy and sharp exploration of middle-aged sexuality and one woman’s thirst for liberation while still performing her role in a nuclear family.”—Alta
“[July] altered my ideas of what 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
