Story
Over 60 years after Virginia Woolf drowned in the River Ouse, Olivia Laing set out one midsummer morning to walk its banks, from source to sea. Along the way, she explores the roles that rivers play in human lives, tracing their intricate flow through literature, mythology, and folklore. Lyrical and stirring, To the River is a passionate investigation into how history resides in a landscape - and how ghosts never quite leave the places they love.

Story
Funny Weather brings together a career’s worth of Laing’s writing about art and culture, examining its role in our political and emotional lives. She profiles Jean-Michel Basquiat and Georgia O’Keefe, interviews Hilary Mantel and Ali Smith, writes love letters to David Bowie and Freddie Mercury, and explores loneliness and technology, women and alcohol, sex and the body.

Story
Embodiment is not an easy business. From violence to illness, sexuality to racism, the fact of a body can be impossibly hard to inhabit. Olivia Laing draws on her own background in protest and alternative medicine to investigate the reasons why. Laing’s exploration of the complexities of bodily life takes in some of the most significant and beguiling figures of the past century, among them the psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, the painters Francis Bacon and Agnes Martin and the singer and civil rights activist Nina Simone.

Story
What does it mean to be lonely? How do we live, if we're not intimately engaged with another human being? How do we connect with other people? When Olivia Laing moved to New York City in her mid-30s, she found herself inhabiting loneliness on a daily basis. Fascinated by the experience, she began to explore the lonely city by way of art. Humane, provocative and deeply moving, The Lonely City is about the spaces between people and the things that draw them together, about sexuality, mortality and the magical possibilities of art.

Story
From a Tuscan hotel for the super-rich to a Brexit-paralysed UK, Kathy spends the first summer of her 40s trying to adjust to making a lifelong commitment just as Trump is tweeting the world into nuclear war. But it’s not only Kathy who’s changing. Political, social and natural landscapes are all in peril. Fascism is on the rise, truth is dead, the planet is hotting up. Is it really worth learning to love when the end of the world is nigh? And how do you make art, let alone a life, when one rogue tweet could end it all?

Story
Humano, provocativo y conmovedor, este audiolibro nos habla sobre los espacios que unen a las personas y las cosas, acerca de la sexualidad, la mortalidad y las posibilidades mágicas del arte. La ciudad solitaria es un deslumbrante trabajo de biografía, memorándum y crítica cultural, y una celebración de un estado extraño y encantador, alejado del continente más grande de la experiencia humana, pero intrínseco al mismo acto de estar vivo.

Story
Tutto è corpo, il corpo è tutto. Il corpo ci rende potenti e vitali, ci umilia e ci offende. Il corpo è una vittima. Il corpo è un oppressore. Il corpo è violato, straziato, ucciso. Il corpo è arma di protesta, strumento di piacere. Il corpo nasce, soffre, gode, muore. Il corpo è vulnerabile; ma la vulnerabilità del corpo è una forza di liberazione. Olivia Laing ha capito di essere corpo innumerevoli volte nel corso della sua vita: ogni volta che è scesa in piazza a manifestare, in ogni rapporto sessuale, ogni volta che ha temuto per la sua incolumità.

Story
In the age of Trump and Brexit, every crisis is instantly overridden by the next. The turbulent political weather of the 21st century generates anxiety and makes it difficult to know how to react. Laing makes an inspiring case for why art matters more than ever, as a force of both resistance and repair. Art, she argues, changes how we see the world. It gives us X-ray vision. It reveals inequalities and offers fertile new ways of living. Funny Weather brings together a career's worth of Laing's writing about art and culture, and their role in our political and emotional lives.

Story
Gita al fiume è un omaggio, un tributo, un’esperienza. È il viaggio di una scrittrice sulle orme di un’altra. Con la prosa poetica a cui si sono affezionati lettori in tutto il mondo, Olivia Laing ci conduce sulle rive dell’Ouse, il fiume dove nel 1941 Virginia Woolf si suicidò, per seguire gli ultimi passi della grande scrittrice ed esplorare quel luogo che aveva deciso di rendere teatro della propria morte.

Story
Bisogna aver toccato l'abisso per saperlo raccontare. Per descrivere il vuoto avvolgente di una ferita che diventa uno stigma o l'angosciante cantilena che rimbomba in una casa di cui si è da sempre l'unico inquilino. Per restituire con la sola forza della voce certi angoli della metropoli, dove la suburra si fa rifugio e l'esclusione sollievo; per dire il loro improvviso, tragico trasformarsi da giardino delle delizie in inferno musicale.
