Review: Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel


My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Fun Home is an autobiographical graphic novel about growing up and discovery. In seven chapters, Bechdel digs into her childhood and teenage memories of her own life and her relationship with her dad. The result is a touching and intensely personal journey. It is also affecting in the way which she handles the discovery of her dad's homosexuality, and eventually her own. The literary approach also makes this book a truly intellectual achievement.
