BookPageWINNER OF THE THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOURThe childhood of Patricia Lockwood, the poet dubbed 'The Smutty-Metaphor Queen of Lawrence, Kansas' by The New York Times, was unusual in many respects. There was the location: an impoverished, nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest. There was her mother, a woman who speaks almost entirely in strange riddles and arnings of impending danger. Above all, there was her gun-toting, guitar-riffing, frequently semi-naked father, who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine and found a loophole which saw him approved for the Catholic priesthood by the future Pope Benedict XVI, despite already having a wife and children.When an unexpected crisis forces Lockwood and her husband to move back into her parents' rectory, she must learn to live again with the family's simmering madness, and to reckon with the dark side of her religious upbringing. Pivoting from the raunchy to the sublime, from the comic to the serious, Priestdaddy is an unforgettable story of how we balance tradition against hard-won identity - and of how, having journeyed in the underworld, we can emerge with our levity and our sense of justice intact.'Destined to be a classic . . . this year's must-read memoir' Mary Karr, author of The Liars' Club'Irrepressible . . . joyous, funny and filthy . . .

Nominerad till Bookerpriset!
En kvinna som blivit känd genom sina virala inlägg på sociala medier åker jorden runt för att träffa sina dyrkande fans, helt och hållet uppslukad av internet eller som hon benämner det: portalen. Är vi i helvetet? frågar personerna i portalen varandra. Kommer vi bara fortsätta såhär tills vi dör?
Plötsligt tränger två meddelanden från hennes mamma igenom hinnan: Nåt har gått fel, och Hur fort kan du komma hit? Medan det verkliga livet krockar med den alltmer barocka portalen konfronterar kvinnan en värld som både verkar innehålla ett överflöd av bevis på att det finns godhet, empati, och rättvisa i universum, och svämma över av stöd för motsatsen.
Ingen pratar om det här är lika mycket ett kärleksbrev till det ändlösa scrollandet som en gripande samtidsbetraktelse över kärlek, språk och mänsklig samhörighet, från en av vår tids mest originella röster.
--
Patricia Lockwood, »twitters hovpoet«, föddes i en husvagn i Fort Wayne, Indiana och växte upp i alla de sämsta städerna i Mellanvästern. Hon har tidigare gett ut två diktsamlingar och en självbiografi, och skriver regelbundet för London Review of Books.

»Jag beundrar och älskar den här boken. Patricia Lockwood är fullständigt unik.« Sally Rooney
»Att läsa Patricia Lockwood är som att titta in i ett kalejdoskop tillverkat av en retsam magiker världen har plötsligt ordnats om i fragment som är kosmiska, förunderliga, förnedrande och profana. Ingen pratar om det här är en fängslande, ojämförlig roman, omskakande och full av liv.« Jia Tolentino

FINALIST FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE & A NEW YORK TIMES TOP 10 BOOKWINNER OF THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZEONE OF THE ATLANTIC’S GREAT AMERICAN NOVELS OF THE PAST 100 YEARS“A book that reads like a prose poem, at once sublime, profane, intimate, philosophical, witty and, eventually, deeply moving.” —New York Times Book Review, Editors’ Choice “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 From "a formidably gifted writer" (The New York Times Book Review), a book that asks: Is there life after the internet?As this urgent, genre-defying book opens, a woman who has recently been elevated to prominence for her social media posts travels around the world to meet her adoring fans. She is overwhelmed by navigating the new language and etiquette of what she terms "the portal," where she grapples with an unshakable conviction that a vast chorus of voices is now dictating her thoughts. When existential threats—from climate change and economic precariousness to the rise of an unnamed dictator and an epidemic of loneliness—begin to loom, she posts her way deeper into the portal's void. An avalanche of images, details, and references accumulate to form a landscape that is post-sense, post-irony, post-everything. "Are we in hell?" the people of the portal ask themselves. "Are we all just going to keep doing this until we die?"Suddenly, two texts from her mother pierce the fray: "Something has gone wrong," and "How soon can you get here?" As real life and its stakes collide with the increasingly absurd antics of the portal, the woman confronts a world that seems to contain both an abundance of proof that there is goodness, empathy, and justice in the universe, and a deluge of evidence to the contrary.Fragmentary and omniscient, incisive and sincere, No One Is Talking About This is at once a love letter to the endless scroll and a profound, modern meditation on love, language, and human connection from a singular voice in American literature.

“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 ChronicleFrom 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 presentnow."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 WeeklyPraise 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

The acclaimed second collection of poetry by Patricia Lockwood – a New York Times Notable Book.SELECTED AS A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times * The Boston Globe * Powell''s * The Strand * Barnes & Noble * BuzzFeed * Flavorwire Read Lockwood’s memoir, Priestdaddy, named one of The New York Times Book Review 10 Best Books of 2017 Colloquial and incantatory, the poems in Patricia Lockwood’s second collection address the most urgent questions of our time, like: Is America going down on Canada? What happens when Niagara Falls gets drunk at a wedding? Is it legal to marry a stuffed owl exhibit? Why isn’t anyone named Gary anymore? Did the Hatfield and McCoy babies ever fall in love? The steep tilt of Lockwood’s lines sends the reader snowballing downhill, accumulating pieces of the scenery with every turn. The poems’ subject is the natural world, but their images would never occur in nature. This book is serious and funny at the same time, like a big grave with a clown lying in it.

'I'm always happy to go into her zany vortex' Lorde'Anything by Patricia Lockwood is guaranteed to make me laugh out loud' Caro Claire Burke, author of Yesteryear'A modern word witch' New York Times Book ReviewThe new collection(s) of poetry from Booker Prize finalist and 'voice of a generation' Patricia LockwoodMany have called Patricia Lockwood a wordsmith, but in the latest iteration of her life, she has become, quite literally, a metalsmith too. Stones, gems, metals, fossils – she forges them into bodies, faces and, with her typical irreverence, vaginas. In these poems, a robot dog discovers the Lascaux caves in France. Jane Austen shoots a perfect 147. A rock gets a girlfriend. The Pope blesses McLovin (kind of). Lockwood’s most successful work of metal- and wordsmithing yet is her blend of the Internet world with the natural one, as she slips meme references and algospeak into evocations of geological time, explorations of organic bodies, and observations of youth. Her most personal collection of poetry yet, you may find you understand yourself – and Patricia – more than you’d like to by the end.'Lookwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else ... you get swept up in the momentum of her wayward brain' The Times

”Kaikki puhuvat tästä.” Harper’s Bazaar
Moderniksi klassikoksi ampaissut hauska ja musertava romaani internetin hallitsemasta olemassaolosta, ajan hengestä ja siitä, mitä kaikki tämä meille maksaa.
Nainen kirjoittaa internettiin. Naisesta tulee julkkis. Mutta vääristä syistä. Hän häpeää, haluaa lopettaa, mutta bittiavaruuden lumo ei päästä häntä otteestaan. Kunnes hän saa viestin: ”On tapahtunut kamalia.” Alkaa hurja pako digitaalisesta aivosumusta sinne jonnekin, mihin somen valta ei ylety. Huimassa nosteessa oleva Patricia Lockwood tavoittaa tismalleen sen, millaista on elää juuri nyt, kun internetistä on tullut minuutemme kiinteä osa. Sensaatiomaisen romaanista tekee kuitenkin sen vilpitön, vereslihainen piipahdus älypuhelinten tuolla puolen. Voisimmeko puhua siitä?
Patricia Lockwood (s. 1982) yhdysvaltalainen kirjailija, runoilija ja esseisti. Hänet tunnetaan 2013 internetsensaatioksi nousseesta Rape Joke -proosarunosta. Vuonna 2017 The New York Times valitsi hänen Priestdaddy-muistelmansa vuoden 10 parhaan kirjan joukkoon. Kukaan ei puhu tästä on Lockwoodin hartaasti odotettu esikoisromaani. Kirkus Reviews on kutsunut sitä ”oppaaksi siitä ajattelusta irrottautumiseen, että internet ei olisi osa todellista elämää ja taidetta”.

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
