The Higher Bookshelf Club: Fun Home

FunHome.jpg

This week we're going to try something different for The Higher Bookshelf. This week's selection is Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic and I invite you, the readers, to read it as well so that we can have your opinions when we publish the review later this week.

Fun Home was picked by Time Magazine as the #1 book of the year in 2006, along with garnering critical praise from the New York Times, USA Today, LA Times, The Advocate, People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly and many other publications.

It is the graphic memoir of gay author Alison Bechdel and her life as she discovers that her father is gay as well. The aftermath of this revelation affects her life dramatically as she copes with the mysteries of her past and examines her new relationship with her father.

Expect a review on Saturday (that gives you the whole week to read). Be prepared with comments and your opinions!

Comic of the Week

Northstar's Boyfriend Coming In January! You guys may recall I was a bit cranky about Northstar and his lack of lovin' about a year and a half ago. In fact, at the time, I issued a challenge to Marvel to get him a kiss by June 2009 or I would declare him not really gay. I have not forgotten about this. However, when the X-men moved to San Francisco this year, we were teased with the existence of what looked to be Northstar's boyfriend (and manager), so I delayed judgment until we could see more. Since then, Northstar hasn't had a lot of major appearances, as there have been about a thousand major crossover events in the Marvel universe in the last six months, and each one tends to disrupt the normal storyline for most books, including the many X-books. So I waited. Our patience seems to have been rewarded! Artist Tim Fish revealed on his blog that his upcoming story in Nation X #2 (which comes out in Jan.) is a story about Northstar, and will feature Kyle, his boyfriend in an 8-page story. I'm not sure if an actual kiss is in it, but it's implied that there is some lovin' going on. Check out some sketches of Northstar, Kyle, and Aurora below, and we'll keep you up to date when we get closer to Jan. NATION X #2 1/6/10 [TimFishWorks]...
