Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone in Books

Sep 25, 2017

Hauntingly poignant, such a great exploration into loneliness

Such a fabulously enticing book exploring the 1970's and 1980's New York scene while revealing the writer's own issues of dealing with loneliness. From the introvert but flamboyant Andy Warhol, to the artist David Wojnarowicz's AIDS activism, Olivia Laing brings to light the spaces between people and the things that draw them together.

The chapters on painter Edward Hopper and Henry Darger are particularly poignant, especially as Darger was practically invisible, and only known after his death as his paintings were discovered in his accommodation. The author's own story remains mysterious. The book epitomises loneliness, despite the bright lights of the big city.

While I didn't enjoy it as much as the first, the sequel did not disappoint with the laughs and excitement. I recommend this to anyone looking for some mindless fun, great tunes, and entertaining fight scenes.
