Thought Experiments on Loneliness

Loneliness is an important element in Milena Michiko Flašar′s prose. In her thought experiments, the award-winning author now examines loneliness through the lens of a single life, from birth to death, tracing when and why moments of loneliness arise.

Flašar considers different kinds of loneliness, its positive and negative aspects, as well as forms chosen freely and those imposed from the outside. The intercultural context remains central. How is loneliness perceived in Japan and how in Europe? An intelligent, intimate, and sensitive book that allows you to see the world through different eyes.
