Shameful to talk about and often misunderstood, loneliness is everywhere, from the most major of metropolises to the smallest of towns. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eSeek You\u003c\/i\u003e, 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRanging 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kristen Radtke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1524748064\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781524748067\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantheon Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/13\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 6.10w x 1.30d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Carnegie Medals for Excellence - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Kirkus Prize - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021 pg. 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2021 pg. 56\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eShelf Awareness\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/20\/2021","brand":"Kristen Radtke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054071050495,"sku":"9781524748067","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6b445833-7c8f-42d1-9edc-843301647ece.jpg?v=1685027827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/seek-you-kristen-radtke-9781524748067","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
