About this talk
A one-off celebration of the ten-year anniversary of Olivia Laing's seminal work, The Lonely City. Laing was joined live by Charlie Porter as they reflected on the legacy of The Lonely City, the paperback publication of The Silver Book and what loneliness, intimacy, solidarity and connection mean in a world of rising fascism. The event explores questions about what it means to be lonely, how we connect with others, and whether technology draws us closer together or keeps us apart.
