Book Club: Books and Banter

Join us at 11am on Sunday, November 9th for a casual discussion of Bechdel’s memoir Fun Home, one of the most remarkable (and most studied!) comics of the past decade. This “family tragicomic” charts her fraught relationship with her late father. This once banned book is an unflinching look at sexuality and repression and the challenging experience reconciling queer identity. In Bechdel’s 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.
