Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood, read by Kristen Sieh.
Shortlisted for the Booker Prize 2021.
Shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction 2021.
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 where we go when existential threats loom and the high stakes of reality that claim us back.
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.
Irreverent and sincere, poignant and delightfully profane, No One Is Talking About This is a meditation on love, language and human connection from one of the most original voices of our time.
Critic Reviews
"I really admire and love this book. Patricia Lockwood is a completely singular talent and this is her best, funniest, weirdest, most affecting work yet." (Sally Rooney)
"A furiously original novel, alive and unstable." (Jia Tolentino, author of Trick Mirror)
"A formidably gifted writer who can do pretty much anything she pleases." (New York Times Book Review)

Worst book ever
This is possibly the worst book I have ever started reading.
The author seems to be on drugs.

The (very much shorter) Ulysses of our time
I remember reading James Joyce’s “Ulysses” at university and being utterly baffled by the cacophony of references - snatches of popular songs, references to current affairs, advertising slogans etc. - and being told by the lecturer that if we’d read it in 1922, we would have “got it”. Now, in 2021, reading “No One is Talking About This” I think I know what they meant. I come from the same generation as Lockwood and recognize many of the allusions and references embedded in the stream of this novel’s consciousness. It is immensely satisfying. And the second part is as beautiful and heartbreaking as the first part is dazzling.

Sublime writing
Beautiful, gripping, and enormously moving - read with a perfect accuracy of tone and pace. A precise and wry description of living Very Online blossoms into the story of a life fully experienced. This audio book is a work of art, and I absolutely loved it.

A lyrical book about love, life and the portal
This book looks at our relationship with the Internet and where it might lead. Then how one moment can change everything and this can teach us to appreciate every minute in the physical world as well.
A beautifully written poetic novel. Perfect for these pandemic times to remind us as we emerge blinking in the sunlight to appreciate real relationships as well as virtual ones.

Bizarre
Decided to give this a chance but it wasn’t an enjoyable experience. As others have said, the second half was a more comprehensible narrative. If only the first half hadn’t been so repulsive at times. Prize material?

A tough listen
The first half is a 2 hour slog that feels like 2 days. It almost feels like it's written in the context of someone's twitter stream. It is disjointed and un-amusing. But in hindsight i think that's what it's supposed to be – a reflection on the vacuousness that is social media. Overall, the book delivered it's message quickly but caused me a lot of frustration and annoyance along the way... and I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I'm not a twitterer.

Something New Under the Sun
I was blown away by this book. It is so original, beautifully written and in the first part of the book, incredibly funny. It's often like stand-up, observational comedy that moves from one observation or idea to the next. It shifts from the profane to the sacred in a heartbeat- particularly in part two which is heartbreakingly beautiful. definitely the best book of 2021 for me!

Not worth the effort.
Talk about the Emporer's New Clothes. What a stream of consciousness seweragefest. Tedious, dull, grinding. I get it. I get the gist of what the raving was all about. But as it is delivered as this confused, churned up mouli- mashed baby pap crap, it just doesn't make for a great read. It's simply a concept that the intelligentsia loved I think. I am certain many didn't even read it. To be fair, I didn't bother going past chapter 7. It just wasn't worth the effort.

Different
If you are looking for a different style of book, then this is for you. Although it does require some patience.
As others have mentioned before, it is rather disjointed and I think that it would work better in physical form (not audio). It was hard to understand where one thought started and another began because we couldn't see the formatting.
But it was an interesting story and important for our times.
Essentially it is about the shallowness of the internet and the importance of what is in front of you.

Way too fragmented
This book is basically in two parts and could be two different books; one a treatise of the superficiality of social media and one a dive into heartbreaking reality. And neither works.
I feel as though the author is trying too hard to impress us with snippets of profound/clever/humourous writing. It's less a novel and more a very scattered stream of consciousness.. some silly, some hilarious, some wise, some really irritating. But it doesn't flow at all, nor does it segue in a meaningful way between the two parts. I had to force myself to finish it, and that's not a great advertisement for any book.
I get it.. it's a superficial world and we forget about what is meaningful until we are forced into facing deeply challenging situations. But there are far more engaging ways to say it.

Trying to be a bit too meta
Maybe it’s because I work in tech but I found this all a bit much. Harper on the same point about social media in a lot of different ways. Part 2 was very powerful though - more of that would have been better.

This Goes So Hard
I was going to do a whole review in that ironic style, but then the book read me and left me to a post post post ironic existence that I couldn't myopically exist within
but to get silly for a moment, haven't binged a book like I binged this one since The Secret History. this book exists right now, and I know I'll read it again in a decade to remember this time.
Charming, witty, talking about the experience of living inside the internet better than any other book I've read, and startlingly effective in its mission, even if to call it a mission might be uncomfortable when the mission is simply "just be here now please"

Jin Rou wanted to be a cultivator. A man powerful enough to defy the heavens. A master of martial arts. A lord of spiritual power. Unfortunately for him, he died, and now I’m stuck in his body. Arrogant Masters? Heavenly Tribulations? All that violence and bloodshed? Yeah, no thanks. I’m getting out of here. Farm life sounds pretty great. Tilling a field by hand is fun when you’ve got the strength of ten men—though maybe I shouldn’t have fed those Spirit Herbs to my pet rooster.

In one of Phil Mason's many revelations, you'll learn that Communist jets were two minutes away from opening fire on American planes during the Cuban missile crisis, when they had to turn back as they were running out of fuel. You'll discover that before the Battle of Waterloo, Napoleon's painful hemorrhoids prevented him from mounting his horse to survey the battlefield.

“The Heron” is the nickname a big-city accountant has attached to himself in his new home near San Diego, where he’s using the alias to avoid a hit man who may be after him. It seems a former client believes that The Heron has skipped town with several million dollars not his own. Don Winslow’s ensuing, entertaining yarn is by turns twisty, dark, and comical as we observe the delicate dance between the pursuer and the pursued.

Working at a dead-end retail job in the middle of nowhere can be hard. The long hours. The helpless customers. The enormous eldritch horror living deep below the building. As the only full-time employee at the 24 hour gas station at the edge of town, Jack has pretty much seen it all. But when he decides to start an online journal documenting the bizarre day-to-day occurrences, he unwittingly attracts the attention of much more than just a few conspiracy theorists.

STOP. You should not have touched this flyer with your bare hands. NO, don't put it down. It's too late. They're watching you. My name is David Wong. My best friend is John. Those names are fake. You might want to change yours. You may not want to know about the things you'll read on these pages, about the sauce, about Korrok, about the invasion, and the future. But it's too late. You touched the book. You're in the game. You're under the eye. The only defense is knowledge. You need to read this book, to the end. Even the part with the bratwurst. Why?
