From weird Tinder hookups to the way the self care industry capitalises on our fear of being alone, and from the complexities of queer dating to the truth about the ‘loneliness epidemic’, she uses her experiences to fearlessly tell a wider story about how we love now. But Lutkin’s answer was met with uproar surely she couldn’t give up on love? So she threw herself into dating, going on two dates every week over a number of months.ĭocumenting her experiences, Lutkin explores the reality of sexual relationships today and reveals how the cultural messages we receive shape our expectations of love. ‘So what’s going on in your love life?’ This seemingly innocent question at a dinner party prompted Aimée Lutkin to finally tell the truth: it had been six years since her last relationship, and she was starting to suspect that it would be better to accept the life she had as a single woman - a life she liked very much - rather than keep searching for a partner. The Lonely Hunter explores the rise of singledom, the realities of loneliness, and whether it is possible to live contentedly alone. A blend of memoir and reportage, The Lonely Hunter will convince you that our ‘search for love is broken,’ whether you’re single or not.Vogue An insightful and thorough investigation into one woman’s loneliness and the systemic ways we’re all becoming less connected.

I found it on the last day of school, tenth grade, in a stack among other books on a table in the library, meant to be rotated out or replaced or just done away with. An instant bestseller, it launched her iconic literary career. I read this book for the first time many years ago.
