The Golden Room Within Us
Miranda July's "All Fours" captures the silent revolution happening in countless women's lives - the moment when the careful architecture of a "good life" begins to feel like a prison. Our unnamed narrator, a forty-something creative professional, wife to Harris and mother to seven-year-old Sam, has mastered the art of functioning. She initiates weekly sex with her husband to preempt pressure, mentally escaping into elaborate fantasies while her body performs the expected motions. Her friendship with Jordi offers rare moments of authenticity - secret meetings to indulge in childhood junk foods, small rebellions against their health-conscious adult lives. But beneath this carefully managed existence runs a current of desperation, a sense that time is running out on something essential she can't quite name. When a potential collaboration with world-famous pop star Arkanda offers a professional lifeline, she prepares for a cross-country drive. But instead of following her husband's meticulously planned route, she makes an unexpected detour that becomes the first crack in her controlled life. Just hours into her journey, she abandons her plans and checks into the Excelsior motel in Monrovia. In an extraordinary act of self-indulgence, she hires Claire, a local decorator, to transform her motel room at an exorbitant cost of $20,000. The renovation becomes increasingly elaborate - plush carpet, luxury towels (including a special "demi-towel"), Italian nun-made lotions, and vintage Portuguese tiles. This transformed space becomes a womb-like sanctuary where she can explore desires outside the constraints of wife and mother.
