Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic - Alison Bechdel Graphic (in both senses) memoir from the erudite creator of Dykes To Watch Out For. Bechdel tells the story of her childhood by talking about her dad, a closeted gay man who died under odd circumstances when she was just 19. Her love for him shines through the pain he caused, and informs this gentle-seeming book with white hot emotion that is always just out of reach. It's an amazing book but not an easy one.
