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.

Commentaires

"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"
