As Real Life And Its Stakes Collide With The Increasingly Absurd Antics Of The Portal, The Woman Confronts A World That Seems To Contain Both An Abundance Of Proof That There Is Goodness, Empathy, And Justice In The Universe, And A Deluge Of Evidence To The Contrary.Fragmentary And Omniscient, Incisive And Sincere, No One Is Talking About This Is At Once A Love Letter To The Endless Scroll And A Profound, Modern Meditation On Love, Language, And Human Connection From A Singular Voice In American Literature.
