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

dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.75

Having seen (and been deeply moved by) the musical, I was happy to get the chance to read the original comic. Bechdel's account of her father's life and of her relationship with him is all at once touching, honest and sad. You feel for her trying to relate to this unlikeable, sometimes tyrannical character through their common points, without masking or excusing his flaws.

A heavy but valuable read.
