Loneliness is other people
What does it mean to be single and alone in a pandemic?
Let us be clear - today’s read, by Katharine Smyth for the Paris Review doesn’t offer solutions. It’s not uplifting, motivational or intended to be a source of any sort of inspiration. It is merely an outpouring of emotions that one person, who finds herself lonely during the pandemic, feels - fantastically written, at that. We don’t usually pick reads about the pandemic, but when it’s good writing, we make an exception!
