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.
