Description
(Text)
Lockwood has written a roving chronicle of the madness of illness and the frightening porousness of what it means to be yourself in the hilariously profound way that only she could. Vulture
Bonkers. The New York Times
Reliably brilliant. The Washington Post
A wild, devilishly curious, often hallucinatory ride that s worth its weight in insights. The San Francisco Chronicle
From the Booker Prize finalist and formidably gifted writer (The New York Times), a vertiginous novel about a woman s descent into illness and insanity.
Amid a global pandemic, one young woman is trying to keep the pieces together of her family, stunned by a devastating loss, and of her mind, left mangled and misfiring from a mystifying disease. She s afraid of her own floorboards, and WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON T HURT ME plays over and over in her ears. She hates her friends, or more accurately, she doesn t know who they are.
Has the illness stolen her old mind and given her a new one? Does it mean she ll get to start over from scratch, a chance afforded to very few people? The very weave of herself seems to have loosened: time and memories pass straight through her body. I m sorry not to respond to your email, she writes, but I live completely in the present
now."
Will There Ever Be Another You is the brain-shredding, phosphorescent story of one woman s dissolution and her attempt to create a new way of thinking, as well as a profound investigation into what keeps us alive in times of unprecedented disorientation and loss, from one of our most original writers.
Praise for Will There Ever Be Another You
Patricia Lockwood writes with the impish verve and provocative guilelessness of a peeing cupid. The New Yorker
Completely singular Patricia Lockwood s body of work is like this: a hymn or ode, depending on the day to the painful project of being human. The New Republic
The author s fans will find her trademark humor, originality, and depth on full display. This is a knockout. starred Publishers Weekly
Praise for No One Is Talking About This
A book that reads like a prose poem, at once sublime, profane, intimate, philosophical, witty and, eventually, deeply moving. The New York Times
Reading Patricia Lockwood raises questions. Questions such as, How can a person understand both herself and the world with such clarity? How does a person experience things so intensely and express them so buoyantly? Am I laughing or am I crying? Lockwood s first novel is as crystalline, witty, and brain-shredding as her poetry and criticism. Vulture
Wow. I can t remember the last time I laughed so much reading a book. What an inventive and startling writer I m so glad I read this. I really think this book is remarkable. David Sedaris
God, is she funny! The New Yorker
