Patricia Lockwood possesses a wild, formidable, and completely original intelligence. Nobody writes like her. Nobody thinks like her. Her two incredible books of poetry (Balloon Pop Outlaw Black and Motherland Fatherland Homelandsexuals), her criticism (“Is it Work?”), her political writing (“Lost in Trumplandia”), and, yes, her Twitter feed, prove she’s the smartest kid in class no matter the subject, and also the one who tells the best poop jokes.
She brings this talent to bear in her new—and I cannot stress this point enough—fucking hilarious memoir, Priestdaddy.
