SEEK YOU - KRISTEN RADTKE GEBUNDEN

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. There is a silent epidemic in
America: loneliness. Shameful to talk about and often misunderstood  loneliness is everywhere 
from the most major of metropolises to the smallest of towns. In Seek You  Kristen Radtke's
wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves  Radtke digs into the ways in
which we attempt to feel closer to one another  and the distance that remains. Through the
lenses of gender and violence  technology and art  Radtke ushers us through 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  the bootstrap-pulling cowboy to the brutal
experiments of Harry Harlow  Radtke investigates why we engage with each other  and what we
risk when we turn away. With her distinctive  emotionally-charged drawings and deeply
empathetic prose  Kristen 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.
