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.
3.5 一開始以為是安妮寶貝一個人旅行的文風,沒想到第一章開始講Edward Hopper第二章講Andy Warhol一下子就深得我心。讀著讀著,我開始明白作者是希望藉這些藝術傢的故事和作品來探討孤獨這個主題,是藝術史分析,也是時評,也是個memoir。很多時候藝術作品,尤其是現代藝術,盯著看也看不齣過所以然,但是通過瞭解Hopper的性格和成長環境,加深瞭我對他畫作的理解。藝術作品總有一隻那個神奇的溝通能力仿佛telepathy一樣,站在畫作前一下子就懂瞭。

評分作為一個在紐約鬧市獨自生活過的人,特彆能體會到那種近乎絕望的孤獨感,這本書體會到瞭,我給四顆星
評分換個角度看這群紐約藝術傢
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...

評分 評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...
