Will There Ever Be Another You

More about the book

THE NEW NOVEL FROM THE AUTHOR OF NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS WINNER OF THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE AND THE ONLY BOOK SHORTLISTED FOR BOTH THE 2021 BOOKER PRIZE AND WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION The world might be in disarray, but for one young woman, the very weave of herself seems to have loosened. Time and memories pass straight through her body, she's afraid of her own floorboards, and 'WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON'T HURT ME' plays over and over in her ears. 'I'm sorry not to respond to your email,' she writes, 'but I live completely in the present now.' But tearing through the slippery terrains of fiction and reality, the possibility for human connection seems to beckon from the other side - and with it, the chance for a blinding re-emergence into the world. From one of our most original, inventive and prodigiously funny writers, Will There Ever Be Another You is a phosphorescent, wild and profound investigation into what keeps us alive in unprecedented times. Praise for Patricia Lockwood and No One Is Talking About This 'Patricia Lockwood is the voice of a generation' Namita Gokhale 'I really admire and love this book' Sally Rooney 'I can't remember the last time I laughed so much reading a book' David Sedaris 'A rare wonder . . . I was left in bits' Douglas Stuart
