Passing for Human: A Graphic Memoir by Liana Finck

challenging dark emotional funny mysterious reflective fast-paced

4.25

 Surrealist graphic metamemoir which touches on loneliness, difference, artifice, creativity, & creation, among other themes. The art style & the narrative style reminds me of Joe Frank Ascent. The mixture of biblical & personal themes combined with odd digressions also remind me of many Joe Frank episodes. The way much of the book is about her parents before she was born, the Garden of Eden, & the process of starting & starting over the memoir reminds me of Tristram Shandy (which I really want to re-read sometime). I picked up this book at random on a random visit to Central Library.
