Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama by Alison Bechdel
challenging
reflective
medium-paced
An interesting deep dive into Bechdel’s relationship with her mother. I think it was a bit too cerebral for me, but I also felt like that was the point; Bechdel attempts to think her way through their relationship rather than feel her way through it, which I think I would have preferred. Still, I always love her art style and raw vulnerability.
