It's impossible not to admire both [Finck’s] ambition and the
beautiful economy of her line drawings… There is a resonant truth
at the heart of this book, and it soars above everything else.
*Observer*
Strangely compelling... gorgeous.
*Herald Scotland, **Books of the Year***
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 Review*
A beautiful, fictionalised memoir combines intelligence and
appealingly scratchy artwork with serious soul-searching.
*Guardian, 50 of the Biggest Books to Look Out For in Autumn
2018*
A sure hit for readers of graphic memoirs.
