The acclaimed author of Imagine Wanting Only This Kristen Radtke presents her new work of graphic nonfiction, Seek You, a wide-ranging exploration of our inner lives and public selves. 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 shines a light on some of our most vulnerable and sublime moments.

Radtke is joined for an evening of readings and conversation by fellow acclaimed comics writers Mira Jacob (Good Talk) and Malaka Gharib (I Was Their American Dream).
