Leave Me Alone, Don’t Leave Me Lonely

At least since Judy Garland instructed us to “make the yuletide gay,” we have been acquainted with the feeling that something is rotten in the state of the holiday. Judy promises that we just have to wait until next year when faithful friends who are dear to us will be near to us once more; it has more the sound of a desperate bet than a vow made with any certainty… but it is the muddling through somehow that is interesting. This week, we are listening in the precarity of the moment—no golden past, no untroubled future—to hopefully find what calls us back this festive impasse each year. What do the lonely hearts hear in the chill of the night? With answerings from A.k.Adrix, Rachika Nayar, and Sananda Maitreya.
