商品簡介
A visually arresting graphic memoir about a young artist struggling against what's expected of her as a woman, and learning to accept her true self, from an acclaimed New Yorker cartoonist.
In this achingly beautiful graphic memoir, Liana Finck goes in search of that thing she has lost--her shadow, she calls it, but we can also think of it as the "otherness" or "strangeness" that has defined her since birth, that part of her that has always felt as though she is living in exile from the world. In Passing for Human, Finck is on a quest for self-understanding and self-acceptance--and along the way, she seeks to answer some eternal questions: What makes us whole? What parts of ourselves do we hide or ignore or chase away--because they're embarrassing, or inconvenient, or just plain weird--and at what cost?
Passing for Human is what Finck calls "a neurological coming-of-age story"--one in which, through childhood, human connection proved elusive, and her most enduring relationships were with plants and rocks and imaginary friends; in which her mother was an artist whose own creative life had been stifled by an unhappy marriage and a deeply sexist society that seemed expressly designed to snuff out creativity in women; in which her father was a doctor who also struggled, in secret, with the guilt of having passed his own form of otherness on to his daughter; and in which, as an adult, Finck finally finds her shadow again--and with it, her true self.
Melancholy and funny, personal and surreal, Passing for Human is a profound exploration of identity by one of the most talented young comics artists working today. Part magical odyssey, part feminist creation myth, this is most of all an extraordinary, moving meditation on what it means to be an artist and a woman grappling with the desire to pass for human.
