steveatwaywords's review against another edition
4.5
As she reflects on memories uncertain, limited omniscience, her own growing identity and how it biases her narrative agenda, challenges nostalgia and resolves/fails-to-resolve relationships (including with herself), and entangles all of it in thick and layered parallels to the literature she knows and will know, we find that Fun Home is about something far richer and more important than its mere family plot.
This is worth the read to settle in to: I appreciated the genre which comes from her own growing artistic skill, her takes on her readings, and how polarizing ideologies somehow might fuse in unlikely places. The only reason I do not give it 5 stars is that once met, I wishes to stay there longer, that references to other complications and nuance might have been explored still more. She is certainly capable of doing it.
Graphic: Suicide, Grief, and Death of parent
Moderate: Homophobia and Sexual content
Minor: Adult/minor relationship, Infidelity, and Mental illness
Illustrations of sexual situations are at times fairly graphic. Otherwise, the content warnings are verbal reckonings in memory; nearly all propel the major plot of the memoir.skudiklier's review against another edition

I don't really have a lot to say about this book, except that I liked it and would recommend it.
