Status Updates From The Lonely City: Adventures...

This is great, but I feel as if I’n getting called out for the kind of art I enjoy; really didn’t need all that

What I find most interesting is that Laing thinks through loneliness via art rather than memoir. Instead of losing intimacy, this creates a different kind of closeness. A closeness to the artists and their solitude, to the city and its inhabitants, to Laing herself, and eventually to our own loneliness as readers.
