Seek You. A Journey Through American Loneliness

From the acclaimed author of imagine wanting, only this-a timely and moving meditation on isolation and longing, both as individuals and as a society. In a wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves, Kristen Radtke digs into our attempts to feel closer to one another, and the distance that remains. through the lenses of gender and violence, technology and art, radtke ushers us throuah a history of loneliness and longing, and shares what feels impossible to share.
Ranging from the invention of the laugh track to the rise of instagram, from the bootstrap-pulling cowboy to the brutal experiments of Harry Harlow, radtke investigates why we engage with one another, and what we risk when we turn away. with her distinctive, emotionally charged drawings and deeply empathetic prose, radtke masterfully shines a light on some of our most vulnerable and sublime moments, and asks how we might keep the spaces between us from splitting entirely.
