Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke
4.0
My last finished book of 2017 (which makes 201 books)!
This is a moving and thought provoking graphic memoir about a young woman’s meditation on permanence and memory. What determines how a place is remembered as it decays into picturesque ruins or a rotted blight? What are we, as impermanent residents of this earth, supposed to leave behind? Radtke’s journey in this book through ruins both physical and metaphorical is riveting.
