Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel

emotional funny reflective medium-paced

5.0

I mean, you don't need to tell me you that Fun Home is an outstanding piece of literature. It's a remarkable comic-memoir, a coming of age as much as it is a grief novel as much as it is a reconciliation with the father Alison Bechdel knew as a child and the man he turned out to be, as it is a reconciliation of her self with her father's self. Some panels nearly moved me to tears because they were so brilliantly composed (Alison and her father standing in front of the mirror before the wedding!). This might become one of those books that I'll reread every year, it's probably  one of those where you find something new in it every time you read it.
