In “The Four Spent the Day Together,” author Chris Kraus explores new narrative techniques. The book, filled with characters seeking new beginnings, is an innovative blend of autofiction, memoir, and true crime, although it retains elements of her previous works. Kraus, known for her cult classic “I Love Dick,” transitions her focus from confessional writing to external stories, a shift she attributes to the impact of Trump-era politics. Despite her evolution as a writer, Kraus maintains her signature style, raising familiar dilemmas and themes in her latest work.
