A complex graphic novel said to be part of the emerging modern literature. Not something I would call a ‘good’ read but undoubtedly a wonderful construction of thoughts, emotions, life recall, and visual interpretation. As a piece of literature to ‘study’, it has merit but it just wasn’t for me. It does not remain on my re-read list but the intertextual references are very interesting for a book lover.

On Goodreads:
In this graphic memoir, Alison Bechdel charts her fraught relationship with her late father.

Distant and exacting, Bruce Bechdel was an English teacher and director of the town funeral home, which Alison and her family referred to as the Fun Home. It was not until college that Alison, who had recently come out as a lesbian, discovered that her father was also gay. A few weeks after this revelation, he was dead, leaving a legacy of mystery for his daughter to resolve.

For intertextual references go to Alison Bechdel.
