Note: this post is not going to be the cup of tea for many of you. But if you’re a perimenopausal woman who has been hearing about this book all year and curious, but not wanting to read it yourself, give the piece a read. Otherwise, press -send to your email archive- now. I’m not offended.

I was born in 1980 so I am the exact target audience for Miranda July’s All Fours. I also spent most of my life in environments where there would be much pearl clutching if anyone even admitted to having read Miranda July’s All Fours, so definitely not the target audience.¹

I read it over the winter in two sittings.
