Born in Fort Wayne, Patricia Lockwood has just won the Dylan Thomas prize for No One Is Talking About This. She did not grow up here so maybe I am grasping a bit. It is Sunday morning, my back is stiff, and her reputation is such that why shouldn't I grasp?
Chair of judges for the prize, writer and festival director Namita Gokhale, described Lockwood as an “astonishing and wholly original new voice”. She added: “A deeply timely winner, Patricia Lockwood is the voice of a generation of new writers who grew up under the constant pressures of real-time news and social media.”
