Episode 313: Liana Finck, author of "Excuse Me" and "Passing for Human"
Liana Finck, a cartoonist and illustrator, contributes to The New Yorker and is the author of Excuse Me and Passing for Human.\n\n"I was drawing since I was 10 months old. My mom had left this vibrant community of architects and art people to live in this idyllic country setting with my dad, and she poured all of her art feelings into me. She really praised me for being this baby genius, which I may or may not have been. But I grew up thinking I was an amazing artist. There weren\u2019t any other artists around besides my mom, so I didn\u2019t have anything to compare it to. There were no art classes around. \u2026 I was so shy, so I was just always drawing and making things."\n\n\n\nThanks to MailChimp and Pitt Writers for sponsoring this week's episode.\n\n\n@lianafinck\n\n\nFinck's archive at The New Yorker\n\n\nFinck on Instagram\n\n\nPassing for Human: A Graphic Memoir (Random House \u2022 2018)\n\n\nExcuse Me: Cartoons, Complaints, and Notes to Self (Random House \u2022 2019)\n\n\n[10:00] "What I Miss: A List" (Catapult \u2022 Apr 2018)\n\n\n[40:00] Very Semi-Serious (The New Yorker \u2022 2015)\n\n\n[50:00] "Dear Pepper: Airport Pickups, Where to Live, and Departed Dogs" (The New Yorker \u2022 Aug 2018)\nLearn more about your ad choices.
