The Lonely Hour #10: 'I'm Never Alone Anymore, and I Miss It' by Matt Gross by The Lonely Hour

Alone, Together: Matt Gross

August 31, 2016

Welcome back to The Lonely Hour’s pre-season two mini-series. This is the second of five essay episodes; I had commissioned the pieces over the summer, and I’ve picked a handful of my favorites to be read to you by the writers themselves.  

Last time, I shared a piece called “I’m Not Lonely, But I’m Not Bragging” from Jamie Feldmar, and now I’ve got one from Matt Gross, a food and travel writer as well as the former editor of BonAppetit.com and the former Frugal Traveler for the New York Times. Listen to his essay, “I'm Never Alone Anymore, and I Miss It,” which you can read in full here, below.
