Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness

A new epidemic? Loneliness. Radtke wonders whether this is a new epidemic, but what is certain is that even with all the technology at our disposal, loneliness is as acute as ever. Loneliness is everywhere, and although this story is about America, it certainly applies to other countries too. Radtke moves through different chapters. Listen… to her father searching for someone via his CQ call, to testimonials, to the biology of loneliness. See… how loneliness is gradually built up through the image of the lonely cowboy and through our childhood. Click… and the harmful effects of social media, which connect but don't connect. Touch… and Harlow's horrific experiments on monkeys. This graphic non-fiction story is beautifully illustrated with a stunning colour palette, but it's also quite depressing. It reminded me that the only thing that matters is relationships. We are nothing without them.
