The Higher Bookshelf Club: Fun Home
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!
