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.

读后感
孤独有着矛盾的属性,被孤独束缚的人,既渴望获得别人的爱和需要,又恐惧和别人亲密接触,刻意和他人保持距离。正是因为这种矛盾冲突,导致孤独的人变得更加孤立和疏远。 矛盾，是普遍存在的，并不仅存在于孤独患者身上。但有些人身上携带的矛盾属性强于其他人。 我是孤独的吗？我该...
评分虽然有些冗长，像是文献，但耐心咀嚼，对培养艺术感官的敏感度还是非常受益的。书中以四位不同领域的“大师”为论证背景，对其生活、性格、艺术形式等进行剖析，彰显不同层次、维度、行为的孤独，挖掘每个人怪癖的一面。同时，以与其对应的绘画、图像处理、摄影、小说四种艺术...
评分白左腐女的书让人看了上火。 说自己是crossgender内心是男人又喜欢男人，亲你这是对自己女性身份厌恶导致对男同的痴迷而已。 因为太孤独连续五年365天去野外和陌生人做爱得了艾滋然后怒气冲冲的怪社会，嗯嗯社会逼他们不带套滥交，社会还让他们体内hiv病毒“感到压力加速发展并...
评分01 快三百页的一本书，看了一个月的时间。突然想起一句话：“以为它是青铜，结果却是王者星耀”。刚开始看目录的时候，我以为是几个关于“孤独”的故事，估计会很快地把它看完。谁知，看完了其中的一个故事，发现其中的内容不仅会引发人进行深层次的思考，还附带了很多的专业知...
评分孤独？我不信。即便是一个人吃饭，也有网剧和综艺节目作陪；即便是一个人旅行，也能被随时弹出的群聊消息所打扰；即便是一个人睡觉，还有青蛙可以看两眼，再截个屏，晒个图，撒娇两句。孤独？糟心还来不及呢。 人们似乎很难承认自己孤独，因为承认太残酷。如果碰巧遇上一个没电...
用户评价
非常絲絲入扣的審視，久違的入骨，因此而認識或進一步認識了Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Solanas, Henry Darger, David Wojnarowitz等等，幸甚至哉。有機會要再讀一遍中文版。
评分到纽约的第一周就有这种感觉了。
评分换个角度看这群纽约艺术家
评分越往后越好看 非常好看
评分"Loneliness, longing, does not mean one has failed, but simply that one is alive." Good conclusion, yet the book might be even better if it looks at the issue from the perspective of ordinary people rather than famous artists.
