Patricia Lockwood: 'That's what's so attractive about the internet: you can exist there as a spirit in the void’

She is a bit annoying, I get that. That sort of ultra-snarky ironic tone she has.

Her piece on Lucia Berlin was great as was her Nabokov essay which described reading him while suffering from COVID.
