By reflecting on the experience of loneliness through the author's own life, the biographies of others and theories from Hannah Arendt and Olivia Laing to 'Bifo' Beradi, Why Are We Lonely? explores the ambiguities of being alone. It takes seriously the need to defy the reductionist tendencies of the current loneliness experts and looks beyond loneliness as a collective health crisis to reflect on what it tells us about our great need for one another and what happens when we fail to meet this need.
