When writer Patricia Lockwood fell ill with Covid in March 2020, she says she felt insane for months, experiencing “Brian fog” (not brain fog) and what she called “The Refrains,” where a single song lyric would play over and over in her mind.

Her new novel is “Will There Ever Be Another You.” Guests: Patricia Lockwood, novelist and poet Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
