What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live, if we're not intimately engaged with another human being? How do we connect with other people? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens?
When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-thirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by this most shameful of experiences, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving fluidly between works and lives -- from Edward Hopper's Nighthawks to Andy Warhol's Time Capsules, from Henry Darger's hoarding to the depredations of the AIDS crisis -- Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone, illuminating not only the causes of loneliness but also how it might be resisted and redeemed.
Humane, provocative and deeply moving, The Lonely City is about the spaces between people and the things that draw them together, about sexuality, mortality and the magical possibilities of art. It's a celebration of a strange and lovely state, adrift from the larger continent of human experience, but intrinsic to the very act of being alive.
Olivia Laing is a writer and critic. Her first book, To the River, was published by Canongate to wide acclaim and shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize and the Dolman Travel Book of the Year. She has been the deputy books editor of the Observer, and writes for The Guardian, New Statesman, and The Times Literary Supplement, among other publications. She is a MacDowell Fellow, and has received grants from the Arts Council and the Authors' Foundation. She lives in Cambridge, England.

01 快三百页的一本书,看了一个月的时间。突然想起一句话:“以为它是青铜,结果却是王者星耀”。刚开始看目录的时候,我以为是几个关于“孤独”的故事,估计会很快地把它看完。谁知,看完了其中的一个故事,发现其中的内容不仅会引发人进行深层次的思考,还附带了很多的专业知...

评分我们其实一直是在被孤独包围着,而且世事一直是如此,你要看时,众生百态,光怪陆离,引人哭,引人笑。你不要看时,那有什么芸芸众生,哪有大千世界,不过是荡荡虚空罢了,或许,连虚空也是没有的。 这就是我们所在的,孤独的城市。 生活在城市中,或许我们每个人都会有这么一...
