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.
作為一個在紐約鬧市獨自生活過的人,特彆能體會到那種近乎絕望的孤獨感,這本書體會到瞭,我給四顆星
評分孤獨是一座城市,名為孤獨的城市,紐約,曼哈頓下城,曼哈頓下城的藝術傢,男藝術傢。於孤獨中創作的藝術傢、關於“孤獨”的藝術作品和棲身孤獨之間的藝術。單身女性作者寫男性藝術傢的生命故事,用自己此刻的孤獨去揣測他們的曆史的社會的孤獨,孤獨私人,孤獨普世,孤獨是集體癥結,孤獨作為政治用語。孤獨的解藥可能不是與某人相遇,或可像《銀翼殺手》裏的復製人,自己“做”朋友,和自己作朋友。紐約培養漫遊者,而漫遊本身又嚴重性彆和階級化,這項活動這個城市總在同一時刻帶給我必須快速社交和必須長久自處的雙重欲望,而哪一重都使人疲憊和快樂。這書也不新,最近去書店總看到它,隨便放著就吸引我眼睛,沒忍住找來讀瞭,有些難以稱重的失望,卻發現【藝術有讀】剛更新的一期也在講它,許是鼕天裏就需要閱讀關於寒冷城市和不幸人群的內容。
評分喜歡寫愛德華·霍珀那章
評分#一個沒有娛樂係統的12小時國際航班是如何逼迫一個隻有kindle的人連續讀完兩本書的
評分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。
The content of the book does not justify the title. Every chapter focuses on one artist, and describes their life, art and their loneliness. Since I'm not interested in artists, this is not the book I want, and I feel I was deceived. Bad feeling...I think t...
評分首先我是被这本书的书名所深深吸引,我想这对于生活在北上广深一线城市的我们应该都深有感触。身在拥有超过两千万人口的超级都市中,即便在人潮汹涌的地铁高峰期、从火车站准备出行或到达抑或是参加多人聚餐或party,那份孤独感往往扑面而来,把我们裹挟其中。 城市中的孤独犹...
評分本书作者孤身一人居住在纽约这座玻璃牢笼般的城市中时,一种密感的缺失状态促使她不断地追问孤独的本质。她从数名具有代表性的当代艺术家为切入点,以用一种自然流动的叙事方式,将爱德华·霍珀、安迪·沃霍尔、亨利·达戈、大卫·沃纳洛维奇等当代艺术家的生平与自己的反思浑...
評分孤独?我不信。即便是一个人吃饭,也有网剧和综艺节目作陪;即便是一个人旅行,也能被随时弹出的群聊消息所打扰;即便是一个人睡觉,还有青蛙可以看两眼,再截个屏,晒个图,撒娇两句。孤独?糟心还来不及呢。 人们似乎很难承认自己孤独,因为承认太残酷。如果碰巧遇上一个没电...
