All Fours
by Miranda July
《纽约时报》畅销书《第一个坏男人》的作者又回来了，她的小说性感、温柔、滑稽，令人惊讶，讲述了一个女人如何改变自己的生活。在离开家中的丈夫和孩子20分钟后，她自发地驶出高速公路，在一家不起眼的汽车旅馆里安顿下来，沉浸在暂时的重塑之中，结果却发现这是一段完全不同的旅程的开始。米兰达·朱丽的第二部小说《四脚朝天》证实了她独特的小说创作方法的光芒。《四脚朝天》以朱尔的诙谐嗓音、完美的喜剧效果、对人类亲密关系毫不掩饰的好奇心以及对挑战极限的明显喜悦，讲述了一个女人追求新自由的故事。《四脚朝天》部分是荒诞的娱乐，部分是对一位四十五岁女艺术家的个人生活、浪漫生活和家庭生活的温情重塑，它超越了人们的期望，同时也挖掘了我们对女性生活的信念。再一次劫持了我们熟悉的事物，并将其转化为新的、令人激动的、深刻的生命力。The New York Times-bestselling author of The First Bad Man returns with an irreverently sexy, tender, hilarious, and surprising novel about a woman upending her lifeA semifamous artist announces her plan to drive cross-country, from LA to New York. Twenty minutes after leaving her husband and child at home, she spontaneously exits the freeway, beds down in a nondescript motel, and immerses herself in a temporary reinvention that turns out to be the start of an entirely different journey.Miranda July’s second novel confirms the brilliance of her unique approach to fiction. With July’s wry voice, perfect comic timing, unabashed curiosity about human intimacy, and palpable delight in pushing boundaries, All Fours tells the story of one woman’s quest for a new kind of freedom. Part absurd entertainment, part tender reinvention of the sexual, romantic, and domestic life of a forty-five-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman. Once again, July hijacks the familiar and turns it into something new and thrillingly, profoundly alive.
