A collection of essays about the joys and struggles of being alone by 22 literary writers including: Lev Grossman, Jhumpa Lahiri, Lena Dunham, Jesmyn Ward, Yiyun Li, and Anthony Doerr

If you’re feeling lonely or if you’ve ever felt unseen, if you’re emboldened by solitude or secretly longing for it: Welcome to The Lonely Stories. This cathartic collection of essays illuminates an experience that so few of us openly discuss. Some stories are heartbreaking, such as Jesmyn Ward’s reckoning with the loss of her husband and Dina Nayeri’s reflection on immigrating to a foreign country. Others are witty, such as Lev Grossman’s rueful tale of heading to the woods or Anthony Doerr’s struggles with internet addiction. Still others celebrate the clarity of solitude, like Claire Dederer’s journey toward sobriety and Lidia Yuknavitch’s sensual look at desire. Thoughtful and affirming, The Lonely Stories reveals the complexities of an emotion we’ve all felt—reminding us that we're not alone.

    this is my go to when needing new underwear.
    Size: 3X-Large, Color: Black/Navy/Dark Purple/Red
    Love these boyshorts for women. They're so comfortable, no crawling and breathable. I recommend for plus size women who has legs rubbing together causing irritation. Nice price as well. This is my go to when needing new underwear.

    Great!
    Size: Small, Color: Black/Heather Gray/White/Nude
    Comfy, good fit, good quality cotton and flat seams around the crotch. Normal size small. I wouldn’t wear these with yoga pants, but nice under looser fitting garments. I would buy more colors.

    There is a seam up the front. I think perhaps it being seamless would be better.
    Size: Medium, Color: Black
    Like anything off Amazon I wasnt expecting anything perfect and ready to have to mail it back. Pleasantly surprised by the softness and durability. The waist band isn't to small on a medium so it fits actually so comfy. I wear them as underwear and as shorts for my skirts n dresses. Id recommend but I say size up if you want a comfy fit. But down if you want a fitted fit fit. Comfy still is fitted but better feeling on if that makes sense. Also the crotch of the shorts/undies has essentially extra fabric sewed in creating that nice comfort. Ill snag a photo when I have time.

    Product varies from package to package
    Size: X-Large, Color: Black/Navy/Dark Purple/Red
    Over a two year period this is my 4th purchase. They started as sleep shorts and have replaced other underwear most of the time because they are comfortable and the quality is pretty good. However there are differences in between every package. The length has varied up to an inch, the material has changed, and some are slightly tighter than others. That said it works for me. I am a side sleeper and sometimes the side seam bothers me.
