The Lonely Stories: 22 Celebrated Writers on the Joys & Struggles of Being Alone
by Natalie Eve Garrett
Thank you to Catapult, Counterpoint, Softskull and NetGalley for the Advanced Reader's Copy!
Available April 19th.
Isolation is a term most of us are very familiar with these days. We are told to isolate from our jobs, our elderly, our children, our vulnerable, our schools and institutions. We are told to go into lockdown and quarentines. Yet what do these words really mean?
The Lonely Stories captures the quintessential emotion of our current era, the longing ache, the ugliness, and, in some cases, the relief. Through short stories by masterful Storytellers, the collection shows us that maybe there is beauty and art in being alone, just as there is beauty in finding a community of loners. I throughly enjoyed reading this collection and will remember the stories for a while.
