Lockwood is not only the quiet queen of twitter, she is also a poet, memoirist, sublime critic, and her first novel is on sale this week.

We here at The Paris Review are often made aware of her one important question we have yet to answer: She sails along on trends and tweets, a fisher of men, understanding, as she writes, that “everyday their attention must turn, like the shine on a school of fish, all at once.” As the tides shift, she is always one twist ahead of the internet’s dangers, such as overexposure and cancellation. She doesn’t live in the internet but upon it. She is not a coder or a programmer (though surely she could be).

If navigating the internet were an Olympic sport, Patricia Lockwood would sweep the medals.
