While some authors avoid social media altogether, whether in their work or professionally (see: the grumblings of Jonathan Franzen), Patricia Lockwood embraced it as a narrative device for her latest novel No One Is Talking About This. Since its release, the bestseller, described by Penguin Random House as an “urgent, genre-defying” tale about an influencer drawn into a Sartre-esque online world, has received wide praise from critics and readers alike. Lockwood will discuss the book with fellow author Clare Beams during a Pittsburgh Arts & Lectures event at Carnegie Music Hall. 7:30 p.m. 4400 Forbes Ave., Oakland. Virtual passes also available. $10-18. pittsburghlectures.org
