In \u003ci\u003ePassing for Human, \u003c\/i\u003e Finck is on a quest for self-understanding and self-acceptance, and along the way she seeks to answer some eternal questions: What makes us whole? What parts of ourselves do we hide, ignore, or chase away because they're embarrassing, or inconvenient, or just plain weird--and at what cost? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePassing for Human\u003c\/i\u003e is what Finck calls \"a neurological coming-of-age story\"--one in which human connection proved elusive and her most enduring relationships throughout childhood were with plants and rocks and imaginary friends; in which her mother's creative life had been snuffed out by an unhappy first marriage and a deeply sexist society; in which her father, a doctor, secretly struggled 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePart magical odyssey, part feminist creation myth, \u003ci\u003ePassing for Human\u003c\/i\u003e is an extraordinary, moving meditation on what it means to be an artist and a woman grappling with the desire to pass for human.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLiana Finck\u003c\/b\u003e is a regular contributor to \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker, The Awl, \u003c\/i\u003eand\u003ci\u003e Catapult\u003c\/i\u003e.
