Livre Seek you FR

Seul dans sa chambre, tapotant sur un poste radio amateur, un homme envoie des messages au monde entier ""CQ - Seek You"", je te cherche. Solitude is a silencing epidemic that insinuates itself everywhere, from the great metropolises to the smallest villages, and of which no one speaks.

In this fascinating documentaire en bande dessinée, Kristen Radtke explores the solitude of North America. Creusant dans nos vies, intérieures et publiques, elle s'efforce de comprendre ce qui nous fait nous sentir proches les uns des autres, et ce qui nous éloigne. Addressing questions of society, gender, violence, technology, art and science, the author collects testimonies and embarks on a journey through the history of solitude and the relationship with others. Along the way, she shares the emotions that everyone sometimes experiences, all the while talking about them.

From the invention of rires artificiels in sitcoms to the birth of Instagram, from solitary cowboys to the brutal experiences of Harry Harlow on the singles, Kristen Radtke investigates our need to enter into a relationship between us and others, and the risks that the absence of affective relationships represents. With its emotionally charged illustrations and its writing full of empathy, this book shines a bright light on our vulnerability as human beings and the fragile relationships that unite us.
