Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

dark emotional funny reflective medium-paced

4.0

I really, really enjoyed this. She perfectly captures the strangeness of loving family. Borrowing a critique from another reviewer- the heavy literary references were difficult to follow for someone who hasn’t read most of the books. I loved the setting, the genius title, the dark humor… Wow, Bechdel packed so much reflection into this memoir. I’m excited to read Are You My Mother? soon.
