No One Is Talking About This is a quirky post-modern novel about internet culture and human connection.

Lockwood’s trip down the rabbit hole of 'the portal’ is an irreverent exploration of our changing language, humour and self-perception. It’s hypnotic and disorientating, the kind of stream-of-consciousness prose which rarely lets you catch your breath.

But it’s not all fun and memes: without giving away any spoilers, the novel takes a sudden gear-change halfway through, and the second half is full of emotion and empathy. It’s the juxtaposition between heartbreak and hilarity, emotionally-stunted humour and real human connection which makes this such a poignant read.

Poetic and chaotic in equal measures, No One Is Talking About This is a fun and wryly intelligent post-modern novel.
