Image by liana finck
When we read Matt Freedman’s harrowing and hilarious illustrated memoir “Relatively Indolent But Relentless,” we were struck by how it was unlike traditional memoirs.
So, we passed a copy along to Liana Finck, the incredibly talented artist and author of ‘A Bintel Brief: Love and Longing in Old New York.’
Finck’s response was both enthusiastic. And quite graphic as you shall see.

Why I became the Forward’s editor-in-chief
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
— Alyssa Katz, editor-in-chief
