Description

Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness by Kristen Radtke A poignant exploration of isolation and longing, both as individuals and as a society, Seek You delves into the ways we attempt to feel closer to one another, and the distance that remains. Radtke examines the complex relationships between technology, art, and human connection, shedding light on the history of loneliness and longing in America. Through a wide-ranging investigation, Radtke investigates why we engage with each other, and what we risk when we turn away. With her distinctive drawings and deeply empathetic prose, she masterfully shines a light on our most vulnerable and sublime moments, asking how we might keep the spaces between us from splitting entirely. This book is a powerful meditation on the human condition, one that challenges us to consider the ways in which we interact with each other and the world around us.
