Join us for our monthly book club meeting - all are welcome! Copies are available at the library's front desk, starting after the prior month's meeting. This month we will be reading & discussing Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel.

A groundbreaking, bestselling graphic memoir that charts the author's fraught relationship with her late father.

Distant and exacting, Bruce Bechdel was an English teacher and director of the town funeral home, which Alison and her family referred to as the "Fun Home." It was not until college that Alison, who had recently come out as a lesbian, discovered that her father was also gay. A few weeks after this revelation, he was dead, leaving a legacy of mystery for his daughter to resolve.
In her hands, personal history becomes a work of amazing subtlety and power, written with controlled force and enlivened with humor, rich literary allusion, and heartbreaking detail.

First published in 2006, this graphic memoir was later adapted into a musical and began its run on Broadway in 2015, ultimately winning the Tony Award for Best Musical later that year.
