ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“All Fours” by Miranda July explores the complexities of desire, intimacy, and self-identity through the eyes of a protagonist struggling with emotional isolation. The story follows her fractured relationships with her partner, Harris, and their child, Sam, as she embarks on an affair with a neighbor, Brian, to escape her dissatisfaction. Themes of vulnerability, personal growth, and the tension between fantasy and reality shape the narrative. July blends humor with discomfort, using surreal moments to reflect on the disjointed nature of human connection and the emotional distance often experienced in contemporary life.
