Thursday, August 21st, 2008 at 8:00 pm, we will be discussing FUN HOME by Alison Bechdel, (pictured at left). This autobiography by the author of the long-running comic strip, Dykes to Watch Out For, deals with her childhood with a closeted gay father, who was an English teacher and proprietor of the local funeral parlor (the former allowed him access to teen boys). "Fun Home" refers both to the funeral parlor, where he put makeup on the corpses and arranged the flowers, and the family's meticulously restored gothic revival house, filled with gilt and lace, where he liked to imagine himself a 19th-century aristocrat. Fun Home has been hailed as one of the best books of the year by numerous sources, including The New York Times,[7] amazon.com,[8][9] The Times of London,[10] Publishers Weekly,[11], salon.com,[12] New York magazine,[13] and Entertainment Weekly. The title is in stock at Book Revue, or, you can purchase it online through Amazon.com by clicking on the link to the left.
