A Conversation with Kristen Radtke (Author of Seek You)

Join the Binghamton University community as we welcome this year’s Common Read Experience book author Kristen Radtke to campus. Kristen is the author of Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness (2021). This engaging graphic novel illustrates how loneliness is a communal experience, and through its exploration, we can come together and approach loneliness from various angles.

Kristen is also the author of Imagine Wanting Only This (2017). She is also the creative director of The Verge.
