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 some of its most compelling artists, illuminating loneliness in a whole new light.
The Lonely City is a celebration of that strange and lovely state, intrinsic to the very act of being alive. Hailed as ‘a new kind of literature’ when it was first published and selling over two hundred thousand copies, Olivia Laing’s dazzling book has been beloved by readers all over the world. Now, in this tenth anniversary edition, Laing reflects in a new afterword on how our experience of loneliness has changed over the course of a difficult decade.
