Recenzii
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
Lockwood is an incontrovertibly gifted writer. Her sentences are routinely surprising, her voice a startling agglomeration of poetic clarity and hectic comedy
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
A work that feels intensely relevant to our fractured time . . . Wonderfully intricate
Lockwood has paid attention more closely than perhaps any other human on earth to what it's like to be alive right now
Astonishing . . . No One Is Talking About This will frighten you, implicate you, and scrape your guts out, in the best way possible
Lockwood's conceit is smart, her prose original, hugely entertaining and witty . . . It is a story, simply, about love, selfless and delighted
A smart and sharp book that is both addictive and deeply unsettling
What begins as an ironical story about irony becomes an intimate and moving portrait of love and grief. In this way, a novel that had been toying with the digital surface of modern life finds the tender heart pumping away beneath it all
Reading Patricia Lockwood feels like looking through a kaleidoscope built by a mischievous sorcerer - the world is suddenly rearranged in fragments that are cosmic, wondrous, humiliating, and profane. No One Is Talking About This is a furiously original novel, alive and unstable; the book builds to a reminder of how devastation and connection produce each other, endlessly and surprisingly, both on the internet and in human places that our shared digital consciousness can never reach
Lockwood is a phenomenal writer who is a keen observer of . . . the fragility of the human heart
Hilarious, affectionate and deeply-felt. There is nothing that Lockwood - and I don't say this lightly - can't do
A delightfully weird look at our service to the internet (fitting in a year that gave us the "doomscroll") and human connection and intersection
A formidably gifted writer who can do pretty much anything she pleases
The first half is a series of unbelievably accurate and funny and insightful takes on what it means to live in the internet of the modern age, and the second half swivels and becomes a kind of personal, family dynamic . It moved me to tears
The poet and essayist turns her hand to fiction in this fragmentary tale that addresses urgent questions about the absurdity of the digital world
An eagerly awaited novel . . . about a woman whose life is overwhelmed by the internet
Set to be one of 2021's biggest books . . . riveting
I really admire and love this book. Patricia Lockwood is a completely singular talent and this is her best, funniest, weirdest, most affecting work yet

LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2021SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2021______________________________________________'A literary star' Hadley Freeman, Guardian 'An intellectual and emotional rollercoaster' Daily Mail 'I can't remember the last time I laughed so much reading a book' David Sedaris'It moved me to tears' Elizabeth Day'Patricia Lockwood is a completely singular talent' Sally Rooney'Takes us on a complex journey' Financial Times'A formidably gifted writer' New York Times Book Review______________________________________________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 where we go when existential threats loom, and the high stakes of reality that claim us back.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.Irreverent and sincere, poignant and delightfully profane, No One Is Talking About This is a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.
