"Passing for Human is what Finck calls 'a neurological coming-of-age story,' one in which, through her 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 creative life had been stifled by an unhappy first marriage and a deeply sexist society that seemed expressly designed to snuff out creativity in women; in which her father was a doctor who 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."--Inside dust jacket.… (más)

graphic memoir - a creatively told story about a woman artist who is "missing her shadow" (possibly neurodivergent but also just generally never feeling like she fits in with other people).

a quick read (~220 pp.) with well-crafted storytelling. There is the sense that the reader is missing part of the story, but, like the protagonist, learns to be okay with not fully understanding or knowing what will happen. ( )

Dreamy and sad. Transcends scratchy art. A memoir about memoir making. ( )

This graphic novel tells the story of a girl who is trying to find identity. She is rather unsure who she is and what it means to lose her "shadow."

The format of the novel circles and criss crosses between the lives of her mother, father and love interest and how these people define her. This memoir graphic novel would be ideal in a classroom setting that was looking to teach symbolism and metaphors as there are numerous examples of it. The reoccurring chapter 1's make up this very abstract and sometimes challenging to follow narrative. Definitely not a title for a reader who isn't looking to dig deeper in their overall understanding. ( )

Well, this'll be short.

Not because it's a graphic memoir (which often takes less time because there's less to actually read versus a lot more to view). But because I only have one lingering impression: whining.

OK, actually a few lingering impressions: whining, overly navel-gazing, art-for-art's-sake (to me, being obtuse is not art). What was my overall impression? Just grow up already. This memoir felt like I did when I was 25. Why would you write a memoir at that age? Also, the art isn't stellar, and while the pacing and design of the pages is intriguing, overall it didn't engage me whatsoever.

At least it was over quickly. ( )

"A story is like a coral reef,

You live inside of it

You add something,

You take something away

Eventually you die,

Becoming part of the story yourself."

I liked this graphic memoir. Spare illustrations, teamed up with an insightful narrative. There is also a magical element to it, as well. ( )
