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 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.
It's a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.

Praise for this book
"Patricia Lockwood dives deep into the ephemerality and meaninglessness of modern life to emerge with a novel that is breathtakingly humane and memorable. No One Is Talking About This is hilarious, affectionate and deeply-felt. There is nothing that Lockwood - and I don't say this lightly - can't do." - Nicole Flattery
"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." - Sally Rooney
"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." - Jia Tolentino
