"The disruption of norms would be so immense that you wouldn't necessarily need your circumstances or feelings to correspond to the author's for that to upend your life."
"What if a woman just told the truth, about sex, monogamy, marriage, mortality, domesticity, friendship, the life of the mind?"
"All Fours was an immediate success, triggering a reaction akin to a resistance movement among women in midlife."
"One woman who nearly divorced her husband after reading it said: I think what I felt, which I think is what a lot of us feel, is permission to be undone."
When Miranda July's All Fours was released, it ignited a spontaneous movement reminiscent of earlier cultural phenomena, this time resonating deeply with women in midlife. The narrative follows a woman's intense journey of self-discovery and desire, as she embarks on a road trip that swiftly derails due to her overpowering attraction to a younger man. This novel transcends mere hormone discussions and invites readers to confront deeper truths about relationships, identity, and societal expectations. The book has been described as a catalyst, offering women a profound sense of freedom and 'permission to be undone' in their own lives.
