Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness

內容簡介

內容簡介 孤獨，美國視而不見的流行病。從一級大城到荒涼小鎮，孤獨無所不在。由於人們羞於啟齒，孤獨經常遭到誤解...《尋你》作者廣泛探索我們的內心世界和公眾自我，深入探討讓彼此更親近的嘗試和無法消弭的隔閡。人們為何相繫，背離彼此又有何風險？透過性別和暴力、技術和藝術的鏡頭，作者帶領我們走過孤獨和渴望的歷史，闡明何者無法和他人分享。From the acclaimed author of Imagine Wanting Only This—a timely and moving meditation on isolation and longing, both as individuals and as a society • One of Lit Hub’s Most Anticipated Books of 2021“Radtke shines her brilliant light into modern America’s experiment in loneliness with this supremely elegant and devastating book.”—Lauren Groff, author of Florida“If you’ve ever felt alone in America, this is the book you have been waiting to hold, and the one that will hold you back.” —Mira Jacob, author of Good TalkThere is a silent epidemic in America: loneliness. Shameful to talk about and often misunderstood, loneliness is everywhere, from the most major of metropolises to the smallest of towns. In Seek You, Kristen Radtke’s wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves, 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. Ranging from the invention of the laugh-track to the rise of Instagram, the bootstrap-pulling cowboy to the brutal experiments of Harry Harlow, Radtke investigates why we engage with each other, and what we risk when we turn away. With her distinctive, emotionally-charged drawings and deeply empathetic prose, Kristen Radtke masterfully shines a light on some of our most vulnerable and sublime moments, and asks how we might keep the spaces between us from splitting entirely."
