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.
评分3.5 一开始以为是安妮宝贝一个人旅行的文风,没想到第一章开始讲Edward Hopper第二章讲Andy Warhol一下子就深得我心。读着读着,我开始明白作者是希望借这些艺术家的故事和作品来探讨孤独这个主题,是艺术史分析,也是时评,也是个memoir。很多时候艺术作品,尤其是现代艺术,盯着看也看不出过所以然,但是通过了解Hopper的性格和成长环境,加深了我对他画作的理解。艺术作品总有一只那个神奇的沟通能力仿佛telepathy一样,站在画作前一下子就懂了。
Olivia Laing is a writer and critic. Her first book, To the River, was published by Canongate to wide acclaim and shortlisted for the Ondaatje Prize and the Dolman Travel Book of the Year. She has been the deputy books editor of the Observer, and writes for The Guardian, New Statesman, and The Times Literary Supplement, among other publications. She is a MacDowell Fellow, and has received grants from the Arts Council and the Authors' Foundation. She lives in Cambridge, England.
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.
无论生活在纽约、巴黎、东京,还是逃不掉的北上广,我们总能在生机勃勃又人满为患的城市中感受到孤独。 一个人走过喧嚣的十字路口,一个人塞着耳机挤进通勤地铁,一个人从狭小的房间醒来、默默看着窗外泛白的晨光……即使置身热闹的聚会,也会在人群中一瞬间感到内心的清冷。 ...
评分 评分 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“人独自一人出生,独自一人死去,而置于生死之间,最重要的就是信任和爱。”艺术家路易丝•布尔乔亚在自己生命结尾时如是说道。她漫长而灿烂的一生证明了独处如何丰富了艺术创作。这个观点很有趣,但可能只限于那些喜欢并接受独处的人们,而对那些无法忍受的个体而言,这种...
