Kristen Radtke en el Festival del Libro de Dallas

Location: J. Erik Jonsson Central Library

When Kristen Radtke was in college, the sudden death of a beloved uncle and the sight of an abandoned mining town sparked a journey around the world in search of deserted places, the people who once inhabited them, and the stories that died along with their disappearance. The result of this journey is her genre-smashing graphic memoir Imagine Wanting Only This, in which Radtke leads us through forsaken landscapes across the globe and, ultimately, through the delicate passageways of the human heart. Author Tom Hart describes it as “riveting and glorious. A book of sorrow filtered through intellect. In Kristen Radtke’s hands, nonfiction becomes poetry.”
