Seek You

Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness by Kristen Radtke, 352 pages.

This graphic novel attempts to trace the broad and winding path of loneliness in all of it's manifestations through American history, and does a remarkably good job. This book includes elements of memoir, but also history, cultural analysis, and scientific studies. This is an extremely thorough book that never loses its emotional core under generous amounts of fact. 

I am really impressed by the execution of this book. It works in harmony with it's medium, and the images definitely make the words stronger, while still containing enough text to convey a lot of information clearly. I would definitely recommend this book widely, even to people who don't read many graphic novels.
