I can't wait to read it.” "again." - Gillian Anderson "This novel changed my life. At first I thought I was reading about midlife, then I thought I was reading about menopause, then motherhood, then sex, then monogamy, then marriage. By the last page, I realized I was reading about existence and death, and I couldn't stop crying. Plus, it's so funny and sexy at the same time. It's my favorite novel of the year." - Dolly Alderton “A stunning, bold, and dazzling literary work from one of our most important literary writers. “On Fours” is humorous, honest, and rich with the energy of reason. It will revive your relationship with language and make you think again about the nature of desire.” -
