Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic
Submitted by linda on Sun, 02/08/2009 - 3:12pm.
During a recent workshop at Sam Weller's Bookstore in Salt Lake City I was turned onto graphic novels. I confess I have been somewhat snobby about graphic novels, considering them "not real books". But last night , in one sitting, I read Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel www.dykes to watchoutfor.com and was blown away. Created from her old journals, family photos & letters, literary illusions and images of growing up in her typical (ie dysfunctional ) family this is one of the most engrossing memoirs I've read. Mainly she explores her complex relationship with her-in-the closet, funeral director, English teacher, interior decorator Father. She manages to come to terms with her family and her father by portraying the richness of the many worlds and co-existences they inhabit. Nothing is simple.
