Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

dark funny reflective medium-paced

4.5

I can see why this memoir is so popular and formative. Bechdel has a gift for weaving her father's queer story with her own, rife with literary references to connect them both. I would have probably given this 5 stars, but I am also reading The Essential Dykes to Watch Out For right now, and I think Bechdel is better at writing a fictional comic serial than a memoir. Totally different genres, though. Both worth reading.
