Imagine Wanting Only This by Kristen Radtke

4.0

A total genre bender, this graphic memoir is cataloged 152.4 (attitude (psychology)). This makes sense because it is as much about grief as it is grappling with a congenital heart problem. So much about personal loss, it is about societal loss and how we come to terms with the ends of buildings and spaces and places we once inhabited. I loved the art. And even if Radtke has it good in terms of being able to up and travel wherever and whenever she wanted, her story here is about struggling for authenticity against looming, existential odds.
