Everything you need to understand or teach Look Alive Out There by Sloane Crosley.
In her essay collection, Look Alive Out There, Sloane Crosley presents 16 distinct personal narratives from her life in New York City, and her travels outside of the city. In each of these essays, Crosley deftly captures the social complications of living in a crowded urban environment that dismantles boundaries between the public and the private. Embracing humor, irony, and reflection at once, Crosley explores themes including identity, sociality, and loneliness throughout the collection.
