Funny and melancholy, this very personal story is an exploration of identity. Liana Finck goes searching for the thing she has lost: her shadow (or the "strangeness" that has defined her since birth). Part of her has always made her feel apart from the rest of the world, and in this memoir, Finck explores her past, as well as her parents' past. In her journey to find her true self, she discovers some truths about self-acceptance and what it is that makes her whole.
I had read a review of this book and had been curious, and I found this to be an interesting read. Finck's art is mostly pretty spare, but it's able to convey a lot of emotion in just a few well-placed lines. I found Finck's story to be compelling, and this was an interesting way to approach a memoir.
