So far, Fun home by Alison Bechdel has been a very amusing story. When it comes to reading, I’ve always been one of those people who find it much easier to find interest in a book if it has pictures and luckily, this one is filled with them. At first I anticipated that Fun Home would initially be a comic but it turns out that it is much more than that. I think that Fun Home serves as many different things. I see it as a very illustrative comic, an autobiography of Bechdel and her child hood (as well as details about her father), and overall it all comes together to form a very well narrated story. The pictures in the book help tell Bechdel’s story and I think that even without the writing and narrations from Bechdel, the pictures could make the story interesting and fun enough to still follow. Though I have not yet finished the book, I find that Bechdel’s narrations about her childhood and her relationship with her father can be very catching. So far it seems like Bechdel’s family is possibly a dysfunctional one.
