The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone book by Olivia Laing
By Olivia LaingThe Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone book by Olivia Laing
There is a particular flavor to the loneliness that comes from living in a city, surrounded by thousands of strangers. This roving cultural history of urban loneliness centers on the ultimate city: Manhattan, that teeming island of gneiss, concrete, and glass. How do we connect with other people, particularly if our sexuality or physical body is considered deviant or damaged? Does technology draw us closer together or trap us behind screens? Laing travels deep into the work and lives of some of the century's most original artists in a celebration of the state of loneliness. Published By Macmillan on 2016-03
