      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.

      Eine Reise in die Einsamkeit

      Allein in seinem Zimmer verschickt ein Mann mit einem Amateurradio Botschaften in die Welt. Einsamkeit ist eine stille Krankheit, die sich von großen Metropolen bis in kleine Dörfer ausbreitet und von niemandem angesprochen wird. Die amerikanische Illustratorin Kristen Radtke untersucht in dieser einzigartigen Graphic Novel die westliche Einsamkeit. Sie durchstreift unsere öffentlichen und privaten Leben, um zu verstehen, was uns nahe bringt und was uns trennt. Dabei thematisiert sie Gesellschaft, Geschlecht, Gewalt, Technologie, Kunst und Wissenschaft und befragt ihre Umgebung direkt. Radtke begibt sich auf eine Reise in die Geschichte der Einsamkeit und der zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen. Sie teilt Gefühle, die wir oft haben, aber nicht aussprechen. Von der Erfindung der Lachkonserven in Sitcoms über Instagram bis hin zu den brutalen Experimenten Harry Harlows an Affen untersucht sie unser Bedürfnis nach Verbindung und die Risiken emotionaler Isolation. Mit starken, gefühlvollen Illustrationen und empathischen Texten wirft dieses Werk ein rohes Licht auf menschliche Verletzlichkeit und die zerbrechlichen Banden, die uns verbinden.
