No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood

The book is divided into two parts. The whole book is written as snippets of events. It is dystopian based on the internet and grief.

The first part is like reading fragments of chats or messages, clips of events or part of a story. Its like she has transcribed the chaos theory from mathematics into snippets of tales supporting it with incomplete lemmas.

The second part talks about the protagonist’s sister’s baby, who is born with some disorder.

None of the events move in a linear fashion.

I got the feeling that I was reading about an unrelated dream sequence. Quote ‘Can a dog be twins?’ keeps popping up.

It talks about many issues of the society like pollution, climate change, abortion laws, etc.

Though many have appreciated the book, it’s not my cup of tea.
