Описание: 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 Talk
There 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.

Описание:
Quail Island, 1909. Jimmy Kokupe is the miracle man.
On a small, wind-blasted island off the east coast of New Zealand a small colony of lepers is
isolated but not abandoned, left to live out their days in relative peace thanks to the charity of
the townspeople and the compassion of the local doctor and matron of the hospital.
Jimmy Kokupe is a miracle: he's been cured. But he still carries the stigma, which makes life
back on the mainland dangerous and lonely. To find a refuge, he's returned to the camp to
care for his friend, fellow patient old Will, and disturbed young Charley.
Healed of his physical ailments and dreaming of the girl he once planned to follow to a new
life in Australia, Jimmy meets 'the lady', the island caretaker's beautiful but troubled wife
who brings their food. Can she help Jimmy forget his difficult past and overcome his own
prejudices towards his mixed parentage, and find the courage to risk living in freedom?
