Description
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.

Reviews

Her absurdist take on losing the plot in a pandemic world is a wild and singular pleasure
Observer

Mind-melting
TIME Magazine
-
Lockwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else ... She and her characters (clearly her own family) are so hilarious that you get swept up in the momentum of her wayward brain.
The Times
-
Yo-yoing between heartfelt emotion and zany humour, the memoiristic rambling is electrified by endlessly inventive phrasing, offbeat humour and omnivorous cultural reference
Daily Mail

Lockwood is a wildcard writer of preternatural ability who does not make life easy for her readers. I read her Covid fever-dream Will There Ever Be Another You three times before I felt on solid ground, and then realised that if I felt on solid ground I had misread it. By altering fiction's space-time continuum, Lockwood gives us a novel in free-fall: fasten your seatbelt and enjoy the flight

This was my most-anticipated title of the year, and it did not disappoint! I've loved Patricia Lockwood's work since I read No One is Talking About This. Will There Ever Be Another You approaches the experience of suffering through long COVID with the same wit, inventiveness and breathtaking punch lines and gut punches
