And it’s not hyperbole to declare that she has now achieved the same feat with her first novel. The eccentric brilliance of her material undoubtedly spoke for itself – she grew up in a nuclear waste-riddled area of the American Midwest, with a gun-toting, more often than not semi-naked Catholic priest for a father (a man who underwent a religious conversion on a submarine, and was given special dispensation from the Vatican to be ordained, despite being married with children) – but she used her not inconsiderable talents to shape it into a multifaceted tale that glittered from every discernible angle. Patricia Lockwood’s memoir Priestdaddy (2017) more than proved that she could tell a good story. ![]()
