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.
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.
非常絲絲入扣的審視,久違的入骨,因此而認識或進一步認識瞭Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Solanas, Henry Darger, David Wojnarowitz等等,幸甚至哉。有機會要再讀一遍中文版。
評分3.5 一開始以為是安妮寶貝一個人旅行的文風,沒想到第一章開始講Edward Hopper第二章講Andy Warhol一下子就深得我心。讀著讀著,我開始明白作者是希望藉這些藝術傢的故事和作品來探討孤獨這個主題,是藝術史分析,也是時評,也是個memoir。很多時候藝術作品,尤其是現代藝術,盯著看也看不齣過所以然,但是通過瞭解Hopper的性格和成長環境,加深瞭我對他畫作的理解。藝術作品總有一隻那個神奇的溝通能力仿佛telepathy一樣,站在畫作前一下子就懂瞭。

評分原创 2018-03-11 南云禾Dagny 云禾的彼得潘 前面的话: 不知何时开始,我会避免正面谈论孤独,因为你不得不承认,这些东西早已被写过无数遍了,后来者很难再有不陷入矫情之嫌的创新。这本《孤独的城市》提供了一种新模式——让感性和理性轮番登台。 上一次有类似感受的书是凯...
評分正逢疫期,前陣子太過沉於絕望。這幾天才逐漸緩和下來,要求自己刷新聞次數減少,且每次必須轉發有效信息,同時重新撿起自己本該做的事情,希望一切儘快恢復光明。 因為還是頗難打開那些過於歡快的主題,所以選讀了Olivia Laing的這本,買了大半年遲遲未讀。看書前需要做的事,...
