I Want to Build a Hut Right Next to... Your Butt: All Fours Chapter 10

Unbridled emotion, soul-connected dance, and strobe lights as sex toys—Amy and Tommy don’t miss any of it in their discussion of Chapter 10 in Miranda July’s All Fours. Amy calls it the “love chapter” and perhaps it is, sprinkled with the tension of fraught desire and the finitude of time.A strange irony exists in the very best moments both in love and in sex: the deep desire to stay right there in that very feeling forever which is both an act of relishing the present while actively craving that very existence in perpetuity. Whether shouting love into a void or drawing up blueprints for a well-placed hut, it’s another attempt to catch smoke. But there’s also the split second moments that can blow up a world. Amy & Tommy tackle both in this juicy episode!Read along or just enjoy the ride! Subscribe to Work From Bed Friday wherever you get your podcasts.
