I liked this concept very much. We jump around with our narrator, whom slides into a few different points-of-view, using different artists as subjects. Sometimes information from interviews is used, sometimes the narrator them self talks about their own lived experience; there is no locked in framing.

This allows for a very fluid expression of various points to the views (ha!) utilized and injected in this to form a cohesive exploration of the concept of loneliness. It centres mostly marginalized folx I think, but does shift so frequently in its citations of various sources, I’m sure it’s more comprehensive.

It mostly works. The narration being audible does sometimes make it feel frenetic, even on lower speed. It’s way harder for me to retain information vocally, so I think I’d have to re read this physically to really digest it properly.

But I do recognize how interesting the structure, concept, and form are. That alone is worth the price of admission for me. I’ll be on the lookout for it in the future. There’s plenty of fantastic correlations in this thoughtful quest into a profoundly human, and therefor universal, experience.
