Synopsis "The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone (10th Anniversary Deluxe Edition)"

Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in Criticism #1 Book of the Year from Brain Pickings Named a best book of the year by NPR, Newsweek, Slate, Pop Sugar, Marie Claire, Elle, Publishers Weekly, and Lit HubThe 10th anniversary edition of the beloved and dazzling work of biography, memoir, and cultural criticism on the subject of loneliness as told through the lives of iconic artists--"a beautiful meander of a book" (The New Yorker).When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in their mid-thirties, they found themself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Increasingly fascinated by this most shameful of experiences, they began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Moving from Edward Hopper's Nighthawks to Andy Warhol's Time Capsules, from Henry Darger's hoarding to David Wojnarowicz's AIDS activism, Laing conducts an electrifying 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 moving, The Lonely City is 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.
