The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone by Olivia Laing

emotional hopeful reflective sad tense medium-paced

5.0

I think this book came to me at the right time because i kept looking to it for answers, a cure to lonliness. I felt loosely attached to these experiences because I did not share the lives of these people but i did share their fear. Ultimately the answers came to me personally just as they did in the book. It’s a beautiful moving book with incredible depth and emotion attached and it’s one of the best books i’ve read so far. It can change you and how you see the world and how you see fear, hope, art and the human experience.
