»Laing hat einen Klassiker geschrieben. Eine atemberaubende Hommage an die Kunst und daran, wie Einsamkeit uns empfänglicher macht für die Fremdartigkeit anderer.« Deborah Levy Mit Mitte dreißig zieht Olivia Laing nach New York City, weil dort der Mann lebt, den sie liebt. Kaum ist sie angekommen, geht die Beziehung in die Brüche, und sie sitzt allein in ihrem kleinen Apartment – so einsam wie noch nie in ihrem Leben. Um sie herum feiern die Leute ausgelassen, hören Jazz und amüsieren sich. Doch bald entdeckt sie, dass sie mit ihrer Einsamkeit nicht allein ist. Vielen Kunstschaffenden vor ihr ist es in New York genauso ergangen. Hätte Edward Hopper sonst sein bekanntestes Bild malen können, die »Nachtschwärmer«? Jene drei Menschen, die allein am Tresen einer Bar hocken? Mitreißend erzählt Olivia Laing die Lebensgeschichten großer Künstlerinnen in New York und zugleich von sich und einem Gefühl, das wir alle kennen.
