@beachcoast replied to your post: Have you read anything good lately :)
What did you think of the lonely city? I bought it last month but haven’t had time to read it yet
i found it super empowering!! the backstory i read is that the author began writing this memoir after she moved to new york to be with her lover, who quickly became someone completely different and left her alone in a city she barely knew. there are a lot of allusions to the artists that shaped her life and the understanding of loneliness, which i thought was really cool, and her ability to connect with normal tasks in daily life is fascinating. there was this one spiel about how technology has ruined society’s ability to communicate which i don’t necessarily agree with and found myself rolling my eyes a lot during the particular rant, but other than that, very realistic and very moving. it reminded me that there is beauty in being your own person :-)
