The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone Book

'The Lonely City is a stunning homage to how extreme loneliness can make us more hospitable to the strangeness of others - to the risks and innovations of art and artists. Laing has written a classic that will be cherished for years to come' - Deborah Levy When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-thirties, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis.
