Kate T. Williamson: At a Crossroads

There’s a certain ennui that sets in right after college graduation. It’s the first time that you’re free from an academic life you’ve been enduring since you were five, but it’s also the first time that you really have to figure out what the hell you’re doing. Harvard film student Kate T. Williamson returned from a year abroad in Japan (where she wrote her previous book, A Year in Japan) to live with her parents in Pennsylvania. Her new illustrated book, At a Crossroads: Between a Rock and My Parents’ Place (Princeton Architectural Press), out today, captures the humor of her stopover in American suburbia. It’s kind of like Dan Clowes graphic novel, Ghost World…but for the quarterlife set. Follow Williamson as she navigates the uncharted waters of Hall & Oats concerts and minor league baseball games, all the while trying to solve the problem of her next step.
