Let There Be Light: The Real Story
of Her Creation
A Graphic Novel
by Liana Finck
Facilitator: Rabbi Megan Brudney
In this ambitious and transcendent graphic novel, Liana Finck turns her keen eye to the story of Genesis with 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 and wry humor, 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.
