Book review no one is talking about this6/29/2023 Everything is a huge joke even when it’s not. Lockwood’s hyperactive self awareness – there is nothing you can throw at her that she won’t have already thought – gives her writing a wired, questioning restlessness that often bends back on itself. The election of Trump, referred to as the Dictator, is a “Gatsby was dead in the pool” moment. “My phone tells me I have a new memory,” she observes bleakly, more than once. Lockwood’s fictional avatar writes, on her compulsive participation in the collective conversation. “She had to have some say in what happened, even if it was only WHAT?” It’s a filthy, funny, strung-out prose poem that aims to capture precisely how we think and speak online and what that might mean, and it’s often both stingingly accurate and weirdly beautiful.
