Fun Home - Alison Bechdel

Fun Home is the book that made me fall in love with graphic novels.  Funny, sad and beautiful, Bechdel’s memoir is the story of a girl growing up and coming out while at the same time trying to come to terms with her father and his death.  Drawing on journal entries, letters and the literature that she and her father read, Bechdel reconstructs (and deconstructs) her family’s past in a narrative form that just works.
