Let There Be Light: The Real Story of Her Creation by Liana Finck

I actually just picked it up based on the strength of Finck’s other book, her memoir. Didn’t know what to expect. Certainly didn’t expect a retelling of The Old Testament.
Finck herself says she isn’t religious and views the source material as a sort of story and stories, she believes, are for retelling, and so there she goes.
I still don’t care for her squiggly simplified art, but there’s something magical about her storytelling. Just a natural ear for narrative rhythms or something. Lovely.
And her retelling is…well, it’s interesting. Gender-diverse. Quirky. Probably not for everyone…but what is, these days, really?
A large book but a very quick read due to the art to text ratio. Irreverence aplenty. User mileage may vary.
