Overview
"The essays in this collection are an exploration of isolation and how it can manifest throughout a life. Each essay offers an attempt to figure out what it means to be lonely and to self-isolate while also recognizing the drawbacks of not engaging with others or the wider world. Each essay is a look at how to find a balance between the giving of oneself to others and the protection of oneself from others and all the ways that paradox is made more complicated. The essays range in topic from the forced isolation of a global pandemic to the ways in which the people in one's life can foster alienation or cause us to look inward. Each essay aims to show that the concept of isolation is not so simple." -- Abstract
