It was fitting that words occasionally fell short while Lockwood was discussing her new novel, “No One Is Talking About This,” out next week from Riverhead. Still, Lockwood’s language faltered at several moments in the interview, “like a dream of your deathbed where you fail to say any of the things you mean to say,” she later wrote in an email. After she garnered early attention as a poet, her 2017 memoir, “ Priestdaddy,” was named one of the Book Review’s 10 best books of the year. But Lockwood, 38, is a practiced interviewee, a comfortable and antic performer both off and on the page.
This is not a comparison journalists typically hear.
“You open your mouth and anything comes out.” “It’s like speaking in tongues as a youth group teenager,” she said by video last month from Savannah, Ga. For the writer Patricia Lockwood, “it’s a very holy thing” to give interviews.
