Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

challenging dark emotional fast-paced

4.0

Bechdel is a great writer and the illustrations are really well done, but in some ways the message of the book felt lacking. Bechdel speaks about her father in a tongue in cheek way when talking about his crimes and flaws, which to me felt a bit understated. Although this bittersweet view of him is a good representation of the complicated feelings toward any flawed family member, it’s just a bit too forgiving to me.
