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.

評分一批早逝的藝術傢,有些比較無聊,有些很有意思。但是作者講述的方式把我說服瞭。很多時候藝術做不瞭什麼,卻有種罕見的溝通能力,滲透素未謀麵的群體之間,豐富他們的生活。
評分意料之外的,這本人物傳記、自傳、文化評論結閤體是我的五星閱讀。 並不刻意尋找關於藝術、或70-90年代紐約這類主題的我竟在一邊細品作者描述這個城市、時代的藝術傢時,一邊不斷在尋找這些他們的作品和事跡。如作者錶達的那樣,孤獨感,它並不會因為我們在熙熙攘攘的人群, 或全民參與的網絡世界而減少。隨著經濟發展,gentrification改變的不僅是大同小異的城,更負麵的副産品卻是同化人的思想。而城裏的人們前所未有更加孤獨,但又偏偏不能輕易錶達這些“負能量”的個人感受。 Laing從新的角度,帶我們看藝術傢的作品、記錄,鏡頭裏描述這韆百年來人類共有的感受,突然間讓我覺得孤獨感少瞭。看他們如何在藝術裏錶達自我,錶達孤獨,在一個對這些藝術傢極不友好的時代裏發聲。很有力量。
評分I have mixed feelings about her writing. A lovely selection of artists, though, and I'm glad I read it when I was also reading AIDS activism texts, when Andy Warhol was on exhibit at the Art Institute, when I could take the Blue Line to Intuit and look at a replication of Henry Darger's room.
評分到紐約的第一周就有這種感覺瞭。
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...
評分“人独自一人出生,独自一人死去,而置于生死之间,最重要的就是信任和爱。”艺术家路易丝•布尔乔亚在自己生命结尾时如是说道。她漫长而灿烂的一生证明了独处如何丰富了艺术创作。这个观点很有趣,但可能只限于那些喜欢并接受独处的人们,而对那些无法忍受的个体而言,这种...
評分孤独是一种主观自觉与他人或社会隔离与疏远的感觉和体验,而非客观状态;是一个人生存空间和生存状态的自我封闭,孤独的人会脱离社会群体而生活在一种消极的状态之中。 这个是百度百科对于孤独的定义,总难免会想到冰冷、无情,不给一点喘息的机会!像个冷酷的仲裁者,没有一点...
評分The content of the book does not justify the title. Every chapter focuses on one artist, and describes their life, art and their loneliness. Since I'm not interested in artists, this is not the book I want, and I feel I was deceived. Bad feeling...I think t...
