Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic - Alison Bechdel
One of the most eagerly anticipated graphic memoirs of recent years, Fun Home is a darkly funny family tale, pitch-perfectly illustrated with Alison Bechdel's sweetly gothic drawings. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian home, a third-generation funeral home director, a high-school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with his male students and the family babysitter. Like Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, it's a story exhilaratingly suited to graphic memoir form.
When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescence, the denouement is swift, graphic, and redemptive. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father.
