"Patricia Lockwood is probably referred to as the voice of her generation more frequently than any other late-millennial author. Initially best-known for her poetry, she is also often referred to as Twitter's poet laureate. Lockwood rose to fame by tweeting surreal sexts, the most well-known of which reads, "I am a Dan Brown novel and you do me in my plot-hole." Her breakout memoir, Priestdaddy,"
"Formally, this novel is the author's most experimental work to date; its disintegration charts the author's - and society's - loss of reason post-2020. But if a formally inventive pandemic novel is an alarming prospect, Will There Ever Be Another You sticks the landing, with persistent and distinctive humour. No One Is Talking About This was the first to be shortlisted both for the Booker and the Women's prizes for fiction."
Patricia Lockwood emerged as a late-millennial voice known for poetry and viral, surreal tweets, including the sext 'I am a Dan Brown novel and you do me in my plot-hole.' Priestdaddy brought attention to a chaotic Catholic family and ranked among the Guardian’s top 100 books of the 21st century. Will There Ever Be Another You experiments formally and uses absurdist humour to render illness and the pandemic as a fever dream that documents social disintegration after 2020. The novel portrays a loss of reason while maintaining persistent, distinctive humour. No One Is Talking About This received Booker and Women’s Prize shortlists for its portrait of internet interiority.
