Will There Ever Be Another You
Autor Patricia Lockwooden Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 aug 2026
'Characteristically witty, lyrical, sometimes bonkers' New York Times
The world might be in disarray, but for one young woman, the very weave of herself seems to have loosened. Time and memories pass straight through her body, she's afraid of her own floorboards, and the lyrics of 'What Is Love' play over and over in her ears. 'I'm sorry not to respond to your email,' she writes, 'but I live completely in the present now.'
Tearing through the slippery terrains of fiction and reality, the possibility for human connection seems to beckon from the other side - and with it, the chance for a blinding re-emergence into the world.
From one of our most original, inventive and prodigiously funny writers, Will There Ever Be Another You is a phosphorescent, wild and profound investigation into what keeps us alive in unprecedented times.

Recenzii
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 ... She and her characters (clearly her own family) are so hilarious that you get swept up in the momentum of her wayward brain.
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
Lockwood, whose mode of thought borders on the metaphysical, takes the literary "you" seriously ... Like the word "you", it will mean something different - but surely dazzling - to each of you who reads it.
Mind-melting
The story that Lockwood's book tells deals with sickness and recovery, but also with caretaking, companionship, and, above all, love
A jaw-dropping tour de force of language and structure
Patricia Lockwood balances humour with pathos in her new slippery, disorientating novel
The author's fans will find her trademark humour, originality, and depth on full display. This is a knockout
There is only one Patricia Lockwood, and this surreal, silly, and sneakily profound book could only be hers
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
This novel offers moments of hilarity, scenes of rich drama, and a dazzling number of references. It is determined to be less than the sum of its parts. It is deliberately perverse, refusing to hang together. Lockwood is not arguing that the centre cannot hold: she is showing that it does not hold
It is labelled "a novel", but the subject matter of someone trying to keep the pieces together during a global pandemic is eerily real ... Prepare to be bewildered and baffled in the best way
I admire a writer so dedicated to her mode ... Frequently brilliant
