When I picked up Will There Ever Be Another You, I was immediately reminded that Lockwood has a modern comic sensibility like no one else * The Times * Many readers may have forgotten, or perhaps memory-holed, what it was like to live through the pandemic. Lockwood offers a friendly – and characteristically witty, lyrical, sometimes bonkers – reminder in her new novel * New York Times * Mind-melting * TIME Magazine * The story that Lockwood’s book tells deals with sickness and recovery, but also with caretaking, companionship, and, above all, love * New Yorker * A jaw-dropping tour de force of language and structure * Waterstones * Patricia Lockwood balances humour with pathos in her new slippery, disorientating novel * Bookseller * The author’s fans will find her trademark humour, originality, and depth on full display. This is a knockout * Publisher's Weekly * There is only one Patricia Lockwood, and this surreal, silly, and sneakily profound book could only be hers * Kirkus * Some books are not meant to be picked apart. They are watercolour gouaches that wash over us as we delight in a palimpsest of colourful impressions. Patricia Lockwood’s body of work is like this: a hymn – or ode, depending on the day – to the painful project of being human * New Republic *
