Sandra de Helen’s Reviews > Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic > Status Update

This is my second reading, and I’m sure it won’t be the last. A graphic memoir by an excellent cartoonist, the book that led to the musical by Lisa Kron. Bechdel and her brother grew up in a funeral home run by their family. The father was closeted and arrested for giving a seventeen-year-old boy beer. Shortly after Alison came out to her parents as a lesbian, he committed suicide.
