When <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/242105/patricia-lockwood/" class="default">Patricia Lockwood</a> contracted COVID-19 in the spring of 2020, she lost touch with reality. For months, she floated through her days, dealing with constant migraines and visions of gorillas lurking in the trees. Ironically, she was mostly aware that she was cut loose from humanity. She kept notebooks filled with her wonderings and ramblings. And when she got better, she gathered her shattered experiences into a sharp new novel, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/747467/will-there-ever-be-another-you-by-patricia-lockwood/" class="default">Will There Ever Be Another You</a>.” <div class="apm-gallery"> <div class="apm-gallery-title">Talking Volumes: Patricia Lockwood</div> <ul class="apm-gallery-slides"> <li class="apm-slide"> </li> <li class="apm-slide"> </li> <li class="apm-slide"> </li> <li class="apm-slide"> </li> <li class="apm-slide"> </li> </ul> </div> Not exactly a memoir, because Lockwood wanted to be freed from the structure of facts, she describes the wild and often psychedelic experience of a long illness “stealing people from themselves.” “You might look the same to others,” she writes, “but you had been replaced.” Lockwood joined Kerri Miller at the Fitzgerald Theater for Talking Volumes on Sept. 25 for a funny, unpredictable and profound conversation about how any long illness can take you apart and put you back together. Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter <a href="https://sarahmorrismusic.com/" class="default">Sarah Morris</a> provided music for the evening.
