It's a father-daughter tale perfectly suited to the graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian house, a third-generation funeral home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with male students and a family babysitter. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints dusting caskets at the family-owned 'fun home,' as Alison and her brothers call it, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescence, the denouement is swift, graphic, and redemptive.--From publisher description. 000327879 60010 $$aBechdel, Alison,$$d1960-$$vComic books, strips, etc. 000327879 650_0 $$aCartoonists$$zUnited States$$vComic books, strips, etc. 000327879 650_0 $$aGraphic novels. 000327879 85200 $$bgen$$hPN6727.B3757$$iZ46$$i2006 000327879 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0623/2005030304-d.html 000327879 85642 $$3Contributor biographical information$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0736/2005030304-b.html 000327879 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:327879$$pGLOBAL_SET 000327879 980__ $$aBIB 000327879 980__ $$aBOOK
