Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness by Kristen Radtke
informative
reflective
fast-paced
3.75
The graphic novel format makes this book go fast, and I think I’d have found it more engaging if I were 1. more actively lonely right now and 2. Less generally familiar with the history/physiology research (so it would be new). At time moving meditation on loneliness but at other times the transitions between personal narrative and research/history felt choppy. Would recommend for anyone interested in loneliness though, since it is so quick to read.
Graphic: Confinement, Mental illness, and Animal cruelty
Moderate: Animal death, Abandonment, and Alcoholism
Minor: Death, Dementia, Terminal illness, Emotional abuse, and Cancer
