In thirty with superfluous years moving to New York by reason of romantic relations, Olivia Лэнг in the total appeared one in enormous stranger city. This наипостыднейший vital experience charmed her all stronger, and she began to investigate a lonely city through an art. Taking apart the cases of Edward Хоппера, Andy Уорхола, Claus Номи, Henry Дарджера and David Войнаровича, the glorified essayist and critic study exercises in an art loneliness, takes apart his characters and socially-psychological nature of alienation. The humane, impertinent and deeply heartfelt "Lonely city" is a book on spaces between people, about things that connect people, about a sex appeal, morality and wonder-working possibilities of art. This research of the unknown and bewitching state torn off from the vast mainland of human vital experience, but deeply inherent to life as such.
