This week, we’re revisiting a favourite Page Breaks author: Patricia Lockwood, whose John Updike takedown brought us much joy last year.
“It was a mistake to believe that other people were not living as deeply as you were. Besides, you were not even living that deeply.“
Text (Reading)
- Excerpt from Patricia Lockwood, No One is Talking About This (2021), available to read free online via BookBrowse.
- Optional! If you want more Lockwood (or if the extract isn’t your thing), try this excellent “tour of memes” with the author.
“Time” and Place
