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.
具體描述
讀後感
在几个废墟一样灰暗、飘满了细碎的雨的秋日过后，天气终于又慷慨地放了晴。晚上一个人在咖啡馆，终于读完了《孤独的城市》。 书是去年秋天买的，读完第一章过后就出于各种原因被闲置了。我在读书方面是个轻易半途而废的人，很多被筛选掉的书不会再翻第二次，就像很多潦草告别的...
評分 評分《孤独的城市》书评 书评搞到最后才落笔，有点晚了，不过还是非常感谢未读给我机会接触到这么一本好书，了解了之前很少能够读到的领域。 今早看到苏珊•桑塔格的一段话“每个降临世间的人都拥有双重公民身份，其一属于健康王国，另一则属于疾病王国。” 《孤独的城市》整体看...

We are individuals, so we can't possibly escape loneliness.
评分剛讀第一章，感覺寫到心裏瞭
评分"...the revelation that after an experience of loneliness both the damaged individual and the healthy society work in concert to maintain separation."
评分喜歡寫愛德華·霍珀那章
评分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。
