From the Booker Prize finalist and formidably gifted writer (The New York Times), a vertiginous novel about a womans descent into illness and insanity.
Amid a global pandemic, one young woman is trying to keep the pieces together of her family, stunned by a devastating loss, and of her mind, left mangled and misfiring from a mystifying disease. Shes afraid of her own floorboards, and WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DONT HURT ME plays over and over in her ears. She hates her friends, or more accurately, she doesnt know who they are.
Has the illness stolen her old mind and given her a new one? Does it mean shell get to start over from scratch, a chance afforded to very few people? The very weave of herself seems to have loosened: time and memories pass straight through her body. Im sorry not to respond to your email, she writes, but I live completely in the present
now.”
Will There Ever Be Another You is the brain-shredding, phosphorescent story of one womans dissolution and her attempt to create a new way of thinking, as well as a profound investigation into what keeps us alive in times of unprecedented disorientation and loss, from one of our most original writers.
