Kristen Radtke is the author of Seek You: A Journey Through American Loneliness. Let me tell you, CNFers, this book spoke to me like few others do. Such is the life as a lonely podcaster.

Kristen also is the author of Imagine Wanting Only This.

Seek You earned her the 2019 Whiting Foundation Grant in nonfiction.

In any case, we spoke about

  • Loneliness
  • Her writing and drawing tools
  • Social media
  • And the expansive nothing you have to fill.

You could pair this book with other author/illustrators like Meichi Ng, Jason Naylor, and Scott Campbell.
