<a href="https://www.newyorker.com/contributors/liana-finck">Liana Finck</a> is a cartoonist and an illustrator who has contributed to The New Yorker since 2015. She is the author of several books, including the graphic memoir “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/562653/passing-for-human-by-liana-finck/">Passing for Human</a>.” Like many of her forebears at the magazine, Finck has also published works for children, and her recent book, “<a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722379/mixed-feelings-by-liana-finck-illustrated-by-liana-finck/">Mixed Feelings</a>,” explores the ways that emotions are often confusing—a truth for readers of any age. “Kids’ books were my first experience of art. They’re really why I do what I do,” she tells David Remnick. Finck discusses her time interning for Maira Kalman, and she shares three “deep cuts” from writers associated with The New Yorker: Kalman’s own “<a href="https://www.labyrinthbooks.com/what-pete-ate-from-a-to-z/">What Pete Ate from A to Z</a>”; William Steig’s “<a href="https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/CDB!/William-Steig/9780689857065">C D B!</a>”; and “<a href="https://longfellowbooks.com/book/9781681377957">Tell Me a Mitzi</a>,” by Lore Segal, with illustrations by Harriet Pincus.
