Summer Book Club: All Fours - Miranda July

It’s hot and everyone’s slightly unhinged, so what better time to kick off the Mamamia Out Loud Summer Book Club than with the only novel bold enough to ask: What if you left your family for a road trip and reinvented yourself... in a motel off the freeway?

In the first of our Summer Book Club episodes, Em, Jessie and Holly dive into Miranda July’s All Fours, a book that is part midlife crisis, part erotic fever dream and part existential stand-up comedy routine.

Em, Jessie and Holly discuss female desire, boredom, creativity and how it’s somehow both deeply relatable and utterly chaotic to want to start afresh on a whim.

If you’ve ever:

  • Sat in your car for an five extra minutes just to avoid your family

  • Fantasised about a new life in a different country

  • Or simply wondered, 'What if?'

Then yes, this episode of Summer Book Club is for you.

Summer Book Club Episode 2 drops December 28 when we'll be discussing the Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry.
