______________________________________________
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.

Critics Review
-
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
Lauren Groff, Red Magazine, Books of the Year 2021 -
I finally read No One Is Talking About This after everyone recommending it to me all year, and I’m so, so happy I did. Please, please read this book
Lorde -
Lockwood is an incontrovertibly gifted writer. Her sentences are routinely surprising, her voice a startling agglomeration of poetic clarity and hectic comedy
Guardian -
Often filthy and irreverent, sometimes extremely funny, and ultimately surprisingly poignant, No One Is Talking About This offers more proof of Lockwood’s particular genius
Telegraph -
A work that feels intensely relevant to our fractured time . . . Wonderfully intricate
Independent -
Lockwood has paid attention more closely than perhaps any other human on earth to what it’s like to be alive right now
