About this episode
Chapter 18 of Miranda July's All Fours is barely three pages in total. It only takes eight minutes to listen to it on audio. Tommy and Amy, however, do not let that stop them from talk talk talking for so long about rage, intercourse as a disappointing end game, and centering pleasure. They dig deep into the anatomy of a marital argument and hit on a profound distinction: working on your relationship vs. practicing loving.
In fact, their conversation was so long that, once again, they chose to break up the convo into two separate episodes. I KNOW. But they couldn't bear to edit out all the juicy goodness. Enjoy!
