"I find myself reading a book in the morning while I sip coffee rather than scrolling and finishing the day on the porch turning pages rather than watching mindless television. The routine of devouring words on the page not only feels like a detox of sorts but is filling me up with a fresh sense of self. My most recent obsession is Miranda July’s latest novel, All Fours, that has quickly become the book of the summer. Her unique writing style and captivating storytelling makes for a page turner." -TFS Founder, Sierra
About the book: 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, checks into a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in 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 forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation 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.
