NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT THIS

by Patricia Lockwood

This is the one of the best books I have read all year. The experience of reading it was a little like the sensation of disorientation you get when you have been deeply absorbed with your phone, then look up to see something that suddenly brings you back to the hard beauty of the real world. Lockwood takes what begins as a funny, slightly absurdist account of life in the age of the internet and delivers a heartbreaking meditation on connection and the value of human life. Masterful and devastating.
