"Patricia Lockwood’s sincere and delightfully profane love letter to the infinite scroll, and a meditation on love, language and human connection"
Shortlisted for the 2021 Booker Prize - A Reader's Review
This is a bit bonkers and I'm not sure I really understood it but I *think* it's about the fragmented and disorientating experience of living ones life online in social media spaces, and if it is then it does that quite cleverly! If you're over a certain age you'll find yourself looking up memes and gen-Z stuff you never knew existed in "WTF, was that for real?" moments. - Tanya Carus

______________________________________________
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.
