SUMMARY:Book Discussion: The Lonely City: Adventures in the Art of Being Alone
DESCRIPTION:by Olivia Laing \nWhen author Olivia Laing moves to New York City in her mid-thirties for a relationship that ultimately ended\, she finds herself profoundly alone. Seeking comfort in art\, Laing ruminates on the intersection of solitude and art\, examining the lives and works of several artists who grappled with isolation and used it as a source of creativity. \nWhile this is an insightful analysis of art\, it ultimately becomes a mediation on how loneliness can foster creativity and lead to personal and artistic growth.

SUMMARY:Book Discussion: Self-Portrait with Nothing
DESCRIPTION:by Aimee Pokwatka \nPepper Rafferty has a very straightforward life. She’s a forensic anthropologist\, who is married to her historian husband\, Ike and helps out at her moms’ veterinary clinic. Her daily life has a routine. When Pepper discovers she is connected to the famous reclusive artist Ula Frost whose paintings are rumored to transport the subjects to and from alternate universes\, she’s swept up in a major mystery. Who is Ula Frost? Can her paintings actually transport people? What is Pepper’s role in all of this? Is there an alternate Pepper living a better life? Ultimately this is a meditation on the many paths a person’s life can take and maybe happiness can be found in the life you already have.
