Passing for Human

In its ambition, framing, and multiple layers, [Passing for Human] raises the bar for graphic narrative. Even fans of [Liana Finck's] work in the New Yorker will be blindsided by this outstanding book.-Kirkus Reviews (starred review) A sure hit for readers of graphic memoirs, this explores feeling different while recognizing sameness in others and making art while embracing being a work-in progress oneself.-Annie Bostrom, Booklist Alienation is both blessing and curse in this elegant graphic memoir of being the odd woman out. . . . Finck's whimsy acts as a microscope to better understand family, romance, and isolation. This story is as tender as it is wry. . . . Becoming human is a lifelong task-but Finck illustrates it with humor and panache.-Publishers Weekly Passing for Human is one of the most extraordinary memoirs I've ever read. It's a story about becoming a person, about creativity, about love, all told with originality and grace. An amazing, amazing book.-Roz Chast, author of Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? If even for a minute, somewhere along the way, you've wondered whether you may have been uneasily zipped into a human body, you need this book, a magical, moving, twelve- dimensional tale of fugitive soulmates and fugitive souls. No one draws like Liana Finck, and no one enchants like her either.-Stacy Schiff, author of Cleopatra Liana Finck has crafted an inventive, one-of-a-kind memoir that's as heartfelt as it is unpredictable.-Adrian Tomine, author of Killing and Dying
