This was a fascinating read, but I was missing a lot of the context to understand some of the concepts. I enjoyed it and I definitely learned from it, but I don't think I was the intended audience.

Dnf. This book is more about the lives of artists, which I’m not interested in, than loneliness itself.

While the writing is exquisite, I really don't relate much to the plethora of topics.

Fáar bækur hafa snert mig jafn djúpt og þessi hefur gert síðastliðna þrjá mánuði. Hún var svo stórkostlega nærgætin, ljóðræn og falleg að stundum var einfaldlega erfitt að lesa hana. Ég grét af söknuði þegar ég kláraði bókina, sem ég myndi segja að eru viðeigandi endalok á lestrinum miðað við innihald hennar.
