\"\"Patricia Lockwood, who shocked and\/or delighted with her memoir, Priestdaddy<\/em> (2017), continues to disquiet with her new sort-of-in-the-end tragic (but uplifting, too) family drama. Kristen Sieh might be her ideal accomplice, as she oh-so-comfortably ciphers zingers and wisecracks most readers probably never expected to hear, like \u201ca Chihuahua perched on a man\u2019s erection\u201d which is likely the mildest in just the first few pages.<\/p>\n

There is<\/em> a story here: a nameless woman (aren\u2019t they all?) who made a viral post \u2013 \u201cCan a dog be twins?\u201d \u2013 is now an internationally peripatetic expert on \u201cthe portal,\u201d something akin to a social media gateway. Her addiction is finally interrupted when she\u2019s called home with news threatening the health of her sister\u2019s pregnancy; the complications her new niece will face transform the extended family \u2013 and, of course, their lives online.<\/p>\n

With unfaltering confidence (and perhaps an eyebrow quite cocked), Sieh channels Lockwood\u2019s sublime storytelling into an intimate aural escape.<\/p>\n
