Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI según el New York Times Una familia tragicómica, el exitoso relato de maduración de Alison Bechdel, que ha sido calificado de proeza de retrato familiar y de raro y original ejemplo de por qué las novelas gráficas han dado que hablar en la literatura americana. Fun Home fue nombrado Mejor libro del año por Time, The New York Times y People. El padre de Alison es un profesor de inglés obsesionado por restaurar con antigüedades su casa victoriana y es dueño de una vieja funeraria. En consonancia con la frialdad de su entorno, es un padre distante y tiránico que mantiene en secreto su verdadera inclinación sexual. A través de esta narrativa gráfica, cómica y desoladora, nos acercamos a los complejos de Alison, que lucha en soledad por encontrar su lugar en el mundo y redimir su precaria relación familiar. La crÃtica ha opinado: Fun Home debe ser el trabajo más ingeniosamente elaborado y un ejemplo de prolija elocuencia biográfica [...] una obra pionera del género -The New York Times ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED, NATIONAL BESTSELLER Time Magazine #1 Book of the Year - National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist -
Winner of the Stonewall Book Award - Double finalist for the Lambda Book Award -
Nominated for the GLAAD Media Award Alison Bechdel's groundbreaking, bestselling graphic memoir that charts her 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.
