All Fours by Miranda July
The New York Times bestselling author of The First Bad Man returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious and literary novel about a woman upending her life
It's very funny, quite dirty, and deeply profound, with a fragile magic that comes from entering an uncensored inner worldThere is the added thrill as well, of July suggesting that midlife, and menopause in particular, might be kind of . . . hot * * Observer * *
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
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 * * Guardian * *
July comes into her own [and] brings a new perspective . . . A menopause novel that's never boring * * Sunday Times * *
Voyeuristic and exploratory . . . Miranda July compels us with her provocations * * Times Literary Supplement * *
Bonkers and brilliant . . . amazing -- LOUIS THEROUX
