Women on the Verge Reading Group
The Women on the Verge Reading Group explores electric fiction that captures standing at the brink of transformation, unraveling, and everything in between.
Our first selection is All Fours, by Miranda July.
From the publisher:
“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 45-year-old female artist, All Fours transcends expectation while excavating our beliefs about life lived as a woman.”
Imagined and launched by Anthem Books, the series offers a welcoming space for readers to talk honestly about the complexity of female characters.
