Truly, truly incredible. The Loneliness Files blends stories from the news—a woman who died in front of her TV and wasn’t found for three years, a young woman who disappears in the Cecil Hotel—and Dixon’s own tales of isolation, both before and especially during COVID. She reminisces about family and home and what those concepts even mean. And what is the internet doing to us? This was such a gut punch of a book and I couldn’t put it down.
