<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"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"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><b>A NATIONAL BESTSELLER</b> <p/><b>"<i>No One Is Talking About This </i>reaches for the sublime, online and off...Lockwood is a modern word witch, her writing splendid and sordid by turns." --<i>New York Times Book Review</i></b><br><b> </b><br><b>"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 </b> <p/><b>From a formidably gifted writer (<i>The New York Times Book Review</i>), a book that asks: Is there life after the internet?</b></b> <p/>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? <p/>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. <p/>Fragmentary and omniscient, incisive and sincere, <i>No One Is Talking About This</i> 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.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Patricia Lockwood was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana and raised in all the worst cities of the Midwest.
