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 between the works and lives of some of the city's most compelling artists, Laing conducts an electric, dazzling investigation into what it means to be alone. Shortlisted for the Gordon Burn Prize 2016.
