Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic

by Alison Bechdel

Bechdel excavates her father's closeted life and their family's gothic inheritance—a funeral home, literary obsessions, and secrets kept until they calcified. A darkly funny, meticulously drawn memoir of queer recognition across a generational divide, and the books they both loved.
