From R. Crumb’s trailblazing confessionals to James Kolchalka’s daily diary strip, making comics about oneself seems irresistible to independent artists. Review: Alison Bechdel’s “Fun Home” A graphic novel and memoir, Fun Home is beautifully rendered and profoundly nuanced.
Click through to read my thoughts and interpretation of the novel. In Fun Home, Alison Bechdel remembers and reframes her childhood experience of a closeted gay father and her complicated relationship with her parents, a relationship that is marked most noticeably by its coldness and distance. Bechdel produces this same dynamic of distance and absence throughout the graphic novel in the referential and literary quality of her narration, in her self-conscious reflective voice that frequently creeps into the realm of the self-referential, and in the images she forges that visualize this distance that characterizes her childhood memory. By inheriting and adopting the only mode of communication that drew her and her father together, that is, through fictive devices and language, Bechdel perhaps fills the space of familial absence by producing her own account of that very emptiness.
