______________________________________________

This is a story about a life lived in two halves.

It's about what happens when real life collides with the increasing absurdity of a world accessed through a screen.

It's about living in world that contains both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.

It's a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.

Rezensionen
Astonishing and wholly original . . . Patricia Lockwood is the voice of a generation of new writers who grew up under the constant pressures of real-time news and social media Namita Gokhale, Chair judge for the Dylan Thomas Prize 2022
I have been in headlong love with Patricia Lockwood's hilarious and subversive mind since her memoir Priestdaddy, but her first novel, No One Is Talking About This, sent me reeling. Everything about this book is testament to her wicked genius
