Fun Home

Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic is Alison Bechdel's memoir. This is the only graphic novel I have ever read other than Maus by Art Spiegelman. I know of Alison's Dykes to Watch Out For comic. But I had never read it. The only comic I ever read with any consistency was Life In Hell.

I have to say that even in comic form, Alison Bechdel has a way with words. She conveys what she is trying to say through the text as much as through her illustrations.

Bechdel, Alison. (2006). Fun Home: A family tragicomic. New York: Houghton Mifflin Co.
