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.

Strangely compelling... gorgeous.

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.

A beautiful, fictionalised memoir combines intelligence and appealingly scratchy artwork with serious soul-searching.

A sure hit for readers of graphic memoirs.

Passing for Human is a bildungsroman of sorts, laying out all the decisive moments that have made Finck who she is now… simultaneously odd and precise.

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... Becoming human is a lifelong task—but Finck illustrates it with humor and panache.

[A] compelling memoir…Passing for Human, proves creativity and mental health through a mix of frank self-analysis and rich, fable-like storytelling. It’s a fine account of how the mind can soar even as doubt roars in the ears.

Hannah Berry’s stunning artwork is painstakingly meticulous and her narratives are always thought-provoking and playful.

This memoir’s realisation of urgency expresses itself in human beings’ silence, which might frustrate readers of prose memoir. But here it is an opportunity for Radtke’s readers to focus, stare, wonder – to remain within urgency itself... This is a riveting use of memoir.

In her exquisitely soul-, mind-, and heart-shattering debut graphic memoir, Kristen Radtke explores life's big questions surrounding grief, mortality, and the impermanence of the things – and the people – we love most.

Radtke's life – and the way she beautifully elevates her deeply personal experiences into universal lessons – makes for brilliant, compelling, unforgettable art.

Kristen Radtke leads us through a bleak and beautifully crafted story of heart and heartbreak – creation, connection, decay, and loss. Imagine Wanting Only This is challenging and inspiring.

Writer, illustrator, and editor Radtke’s graphic memoir does something difficult within just a few minimally designed, emotional pages: she transforms the over-studied experience of being a talented artist stuck in that yearning gulf between college’s purpose and life’s demands into something unique and thuddingly real.

This is the work of a tremendously gifted cartoonist whose formal brilliance is indisputable, and whose sprawling narratives come to us via endlessly inventive pages. Rusty Brown is another masterpiece from Ware, and is unmissable.

An intriguing, insightful not-quite-biography of the Brontë which explores both their real and imaginary worlds.

A tale about the collision between dreamlike places of possibility and constrained lives. None of the Brontë would reach 40. Yet their work still entrances us and Greenberg gives their tangled early creations gripping and generous life.

A vivid foundation story for the great torrent of romantic fiction that was shortly to burst forth.
