Will There Ever Be Another You is the latest by author of Priestdaddy, No-One is Talking About This and most importantly, Twitter's Poet Laureate of the 2010's, Patricia Lockwood.
Will There Ever Be Another You is autofiction- a free-wheeling portrayal of the physical and psychological effects of long-COVID and the resulting ego death.
Experiencing amnesia and body dysphoria in the wake of her first COVID contraction, Lockwood details the slow journey to recovering her identity.
What happens to a writer when they lose their relationship to language and themselves? What more can we plunder from the mind when the self exists as a mere spectre?
Lockwood retains her wicked wit and playful warmth in her latest novel, but layers the jokes with a sincere excavation of the self.
Moving at a hazier pace than her previous work, Will There Ever Be Another You still packs emotional punches and humour that's become a Patricia Lockwood signature.
