ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Miranda July's novel, All Fours, follows a woman who, on the verge of a planned transformative cross-country journey, abruptly changes course. Instead of New York, she detours to a motel thirty minutes from her home.

This sets the stage for an exploration of desire, identity, and transformation, as the protagonist grapples with her sense of self and her relationships. The story delves into themes of marriage, fidelity, and the search for personal fulfillment, all while blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.
