The Lonely City by Olivia Laing

The Lonely City by Olivia Laing

After a relationship ends, Laing moves to New York and finds herself profoundly, unexpectedly lonely, and the book blends her own memoir of isolation with critical studies of artists — Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz — who each grappled with loneliness in their own work and lives.

Laing treats loneliness as a genuinely rich subject for cultural inquiry rather than a purely personal failing, using each artist's biography and work to illuminate different facets of urban isolation, technology's role in connection and disconnection, and the specific loneliness of being surrounded by people.

A widely acclaimed blend of memoir and art criticism on the subject of loneliness.
