No One Is Talking About This A literary star Guardian by Patricia Lockwood

نویسنده: Patricia Lockwood

A woman known for her viral social media posts travels the world speaking to her adoring fans, her entire existence overwhelmed by the internet – or what she terms ‘the portal’. Are we in hell? the people of the portal ask themselves. Are we all just going to keep doing this until we die?

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 increasing absurdity 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.

Irreverent and sincere, poignant and delightfully profane, No One Is Talking About This is at once a love letter to the infinite scroll and a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.

Goodreads users review :

These two parts make an odd whole, but Lockwood brilliantly fuses the perceived important and the actually important in a relatable way. There are no names and barely a plot; the focus is elsewhere. The stream of consciousness cleverly illustrates our constant desire for entertainment. It’s fascinating, often hilarious, yet profoundly sad. Escapism at its best and worst. Social contagions are rampant, but life is so much deeper. britt_brooke                                                                                            rated it: 5.0 from 5.0

A book that begins delightfully weird, an almost demented acid trip of how the internet warps the brain. And then it becomes something else, something very heavy and sad, and it becomes a book about the coexistence of nihilism and hope.
