A semi-famous artist turns forty-five and gives herself a gift – a cross-country road trip from LA to New York, without her husband and child. But thirty minutes after setting off, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel – and embarks on the journey of a lifetime.

Eleştirmen yorumları
"It’s very funny, quite dirty, and deeply profound, with a fragile magic that comes from entering an uncensored inner world. There is the added thrill as well, of July suggesting that midlife, and menopause in particular, might be kind of . . . hot"
"Rage, grief, lust, sadness, selfishness; this stunning book and July’s nameless heroine have it all. I cannot wait to read it all over again" (GILLIAN ANDERSON)
"A life-changer for me. I thought I was reading about middle age, then I thought I was reading about menopause, then motherhood, then sexuality, then monogamy, then marriage. And by the final page I realised I was reading about existence and death and I couldn’t stop crying. Plus it’s so funny and it’s so horny. My favourite novel of this year" (DOLLY ALDERTON)
"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)
"Transcendent . . . A book that emboldens you. To read it, is to feel gloriously, unashamedly alive" (PANDORA SYKES)
"One of the freshest, funniest, most urgent voices I've read in a long time . . . Authentic and willingly honest. I couldn't put the book down. What a delight" (HUGH JACKMAN)
"Wild and outrageous, provocative and entirely unpredictable" (DAVID NICHOLLS)
"Essential . . . A book of vast scope, taking in men and women, the mind and the body, and society and solitude"
"July doesn’t just tap into the zeitgeist; she helps shape it. Her prose is startlingly original yet immediately familiar, like meeting a stranger who reminds you of yourself. How did she create something so original and yet so relatable? . . . Unflinching and insistent - a defiance against erasure" (MOLLY RINGWALD)
"July comes into her own [and] brings a new perspective . . . A menopause novel that’s never boring"
Hmmm...

If I had been reading this novel in print I'm not sure I would have stuck with it to the end - rather like sex, every climax in the narrative turns out not to be THE climax. However Miranda July's performance of her work is irresistible and somewhat addictive so I did hear it through.
Part one has much of the crazy unpredictability of The First Bad Man, which I listened to just before this and really loved wholeheartedly. It is tremendously entertaining. Part 2 is sad and painful and feels very truthful. Parts 3 and 4 I felt like she was overstretching, looking for a stellar ending which when it comes is intoxicating but hard to have much faith in after the endless let downs and reversals in the character's life so far.
My first encounter with MJ was in a New Yorker fiction podcast where David Sedaris reads Roy Spivey. I've listened to this several times. It's fantastic. If I'm allowed to post this link you can find it here. https://www.newyorker.com/podcast/the-writers-voice/david-sedaris-reads-roy-spivey-by-miranda-july

The searing, vivid feelings expressed by Miranda July have rewired my daily inner narrative so that it is more honest and truthful. I couldn’t be more grateful to the author for bravely writing with such skill, humour and honesty.
Not only was I delighted all the way through by the skilful and unique use of simile, metaphor and steering miles away from any suggestion of cliche, the story was as robust as any Dickens novel. I felt like a monkey made of light swinging from one part of the story to the next with such ease.
Wow.
The description of the inner workings of a woman grappling with understanding peri menopause from a physical and mental point of view as well as the stark reality of society’s view of women at this stage was both cathartic and hopeful.
Thank you is all I can say. Will be buying for all friends xxx
