Summary

Bloomsbury presents Will There Ever Be Another You, written and read by Patricia Lockwood

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.

Great Krang! The rest of it is good too, but I would have liked to hear the whole thing read that way, or at least the majority of the narrative

I don't know of anyone who's managed to write about the internet or lockdown as trenchantly as Lockwood can. She's just so funny too. I would recommend reading this after Priestdaddy and No One is Talking About This otherwise you'll miss a lot. I don't know how to describe what she does in this one (poetic comedy automation??) but it won't land properly without the context of her earlier work.

she's just so good
