SHORTLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE 2021  SHORTLISTED FOR THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2021 A literary star Guardian An intellectual and emotional rollercoaster Daily Mail I can t remember the last time I laughed so much reading a book David Sedaris  It moved me to tears Elizabeth Day Patricia Lockwood is a completely singular talent  Sally Rooney  Takes us on a complex journey Financial Times A formidably gifted writer New York Times Book Review  This is a story about a life lived in two halves. It s about what happens when real life collides with the world accessed through a screen. It s about where we go when existential threats loom and high-stakes reality claims 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.
