LEFT HAND Vol.1-2

2015
Physically and digitally published

We often say “the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing,” but what if that ever really came true?

Introduction

We often say “the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing,” but what if that ever really came true? Kuo Yue-Lin is a young high-schooler with that very problem: his left hand is borrowed from a boy he met years ago at his piano lessons. But the five fingers that flew lightly over the piano keys frequently find their way into other places, too, like store shelves and fist fights, acting outside Yue-Lin’s control. But its original owner disappeared years ago, leaving Yue-Lin to rue the day they met. Until one day in high school, when everything changes.… Illustrator SALLY infuses this story of high school life and anxieties with whimsy, nervous energy, and a touch of irreality. Distraction and misdirection send the eye back and forth between faces and voices, mimicking the unsettled mind (or renegade left hand) of a changing young man.
