Exercises in Loneliness is a collection of philosophical essays on a common topic of solitude. Written between 2006 and 2014, the essays look at its different aspects, from creative loneliness to social alienation and individual uniqueness. Texts contain references to the work of Virginia Woolf, marquis de Sade, Casanova, Pascal Quignard, Roland Barthes and Alfred Hitchcock, among others. There is something romantic and legendary about loneliness because every knight searches for the Holy Grail on his own. Even the best fairytales are probably born out of an extreme loneliness, out of a desire to stop being alone, to find love and bring it to people. So the secret is to stop asking to be saved and to start saving others - from hunger, death, abuse, ignorance, intolerance, lack of love or even their loneliness. Before long you will see how your own loneliness subsides - like a tide that runs away with the sunrise.
