No One Is Talking About This
Book • 2021
The novel is divided into two parts.
The first part captures the life of an unnamed protagonist who is a social media star, interacting with 'the portal' (the internet) and navigating its vapid, addictive culture.
This section is characterized by brief, tweet-length increments and a modernist, poetic style.
The second part shifts to a deeply personal and emotional story about the protagonist's sister's baby born with Proteus syndrome, mirroring real-life events involving Lockwood's niece.
The book explores concepts of grief, love, and the stark contrast between online life and real-life tragedies.
