After moving to New York City in her thirties for a romantic relationship, Olivia Lang ended up alone in a huge foreign city. This most embarrassing life experience fascinated her more and more, and she began to explore the lonely city through art. Parsing the cases of Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Klaus Nomi, Henry Darger, and David Wojnarowicz, the acclaimed essayist and critic explores the exercise in the art of loneliness, parsing its imagery and the social and psychological nature of alienation. Human, daring and deeply insightful, The Lonely City is a book about the spaces between people, the things that connect people, sexuality, morality and the miraculous possibilities of art. It is an exploration of an unknowable and enchanting condition, detached from the vast continent of human experience, but profoundly intrinsic to life itself.
