In Finck's retelling, the millennia-old stories of Adam and Eve, Abraham and Isaac, and Jacob and Esau haunt the pages like familiar but partially forgotten nursery rhymes―transmuted by time but still deeply resonant. With her trademark insightfulness, wry humor, and supple, moving visual style, Finck accentuates the latent sweetness and timeless wisdom of the original text, infusing it with wit and whimsy while retaining every ounce of its spiritual heft. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eLet There Be Light \u003c\/i\u003eis proof that old stories can live forever, whether as ancient scripture or as a series of profound and enchanting cartoons. The Book of Genesis is about some of the most fundamental, eternally pertinent questions that we can ask: What does it mean to be human? What is the purpose of our lives? And how should we treat one another? The stories that attempt to answer these questions are an immediate link with the people who first told them. Unable to fathom the holiness and preciousness of that notion, or put it into words, Finck set out to depict it. The result is a true story of creation, rendered by one of our most innovative creators. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLONGLISTED FOR THE CAROL SHIELDS PRIZE FOR FICTION\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiana Finck \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of Passing for Human and Excuse Me and a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e.
