- Books
It's been adapted into a hit Broadway musical. It's made it onto Banned Books lists. Now, we are proud to bring you into the Comix Crunch Club's discussion of Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by critically acclaimed cartoonist Alison Bechdel. The graphic memoir explores her relationship with her late father and her own journey of self-discovery and how all of it is contextualized by literature. It deals with themes of family, gender roles, sexual identity, mental illness, abuse, and suicide. We explore some of these themes in our latest discussion.
CONTENT / TRIGGER WARNING: As stated above, there are brief mentions of suicide, mental illness, and abuse in both the comic and discussion. There are also discussions of sexuality in our discussion and illustrated sexual acts in the comic. Listener and reader discretion is advised.
