( ) *A Thank you to NetGalley for allowing me to read this. This is my honest and unbiased review* Hello Fellow Readers, I honestly did not know what to think of this book, because I have a bit of a hang up when it comes to the bible. This mostly comes from childhood which has to do with a religious family. Once I got over my hang ups though it was very interesting to see the book of Genesis told by someone else. Finck's art did take me a little while to get use to, but once I did I actually enjoyed it very much. The art complimented Finck's story very well. I love the alternative God that Finck explores, and the first two sections of the book was very interesting, but the third and last section sort of lost it's stride and I did not enjoy it as much. Overall, a very interesting retelling about the Book of Genesis Liana Finck follows closely the Genesis story, only changing a few details here and there. The biggest change being that God is in fact a Goddess. The story starts at the very beginning of the creation up to the story of Joseph. This retelling is more humorous than the original. I particularly enjoyed all the author’s side notes that amplify that effect. I had a little hard time for a few pages, wondering if that book was really for me. But I persevered and didn't regret it. I knew nothing about Liana Finck before I saw this book as I was browsing for a new graphic novel to read. The very minimalist illustrations can be confusing at first, but as a matter of fact, they serve the story very well. Liana Finck’s interpretation is extremely touching and sensitive, especially when she describes God’s reactions in front of her Creation. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"'About this Book' In this ambitious and transcendent graphic novel, Liana Finck turns her keen eye to none other than the Old Testament, reimagining the story of Genesis with a God as a woman, Abraham as a resident of New York City, and Rebekah as a robot, among many other delightful twists. 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. Let There Be Light is a testament to the fact 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 questions that we can ask, pertinent across the millennia: What does it mean to be human? What is the purpose of our lives? How do 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"-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
