Reviews
" The Pursuit of Loneliness  is still worth reading because it honors the mission of sociology not to train a caste of knowers but to contribute to society's knowledge of itself." - from the introduction by Todd Gitlin "If I had to select a single book by which to tell a stranger what life in this country has become and why, it would be this one." - Edgar Z. Friedenberg in The New York Review of Books "A brilliant, sweeping and revelant critique ... An insightful, well-written, and thought-provoking book that illumines each of the many aspects of American culture that it touches." -  Kenneth Keniston in The New York Times  , " The Pursuit of Loneliness  is still worth reading because it honors the mission of sociology not to train a caste of knowers but to contribute to society's knowledge of itself." from the introduction by Todd Gitlin "If I had to select a single book by which to tell a stranger what life in this country has become and why, it would be this one."
