Miranda July may be one of the most interesting writers working today...All Fours announces itself as a scream and an uncontrollable laugh, shining a light on the absurdity of the left turns one takes on their way to midlife.

Sharply funny...All Fours focuses on the boundary lines of human connection and sexuality, in this case,
