GRAPHIC NOVEL

Seek You by Kristen Radtke
In Seek You, 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.

Seek You is being acclaimed in book reviews around the world for its stunning and poignant meditation on loneliness in a form that defies categorization. This hybrid graphic narrative is stunning and poignant, and it reaches beyond the pandemic.

Radtke is a Green Bay-area native whose parents live in Door County.
