Will There Ever Be Another You

From the Booker Prize finalist and “ formidably gifted writer” (The  New York Times), a vertiginous novel about a woman’ s 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. She’ s afraid of her own floorboards, and “ WHAT IS LOVE? BABY DON’ T HURT ME” plays over and over in her ears. She hates her friends, or more accurately, she doesn’ t know who they are.

Has the illness stolen her old mind and given her a new one? Does it mean she’ ll 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. “ I’ m 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 woman’ s 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.
