Passing for human

Melancholy and funny, personal and surreal, Passing for Human is a neurological coming-of-age story in which Liana Finck goes in search of that thing she has lost – her shadow, that part of her that has always felt as though she is living in exile from the world.

On a quest for self-understanding and self-acceptance, 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 – and at what cost?Part magical odyssey, part feminist creation myth, Passing for Human is most of all an extraordinary, moving meditation on what it means to be an artist and a woman.
