Queer Book Club: "Fun Home"

Starting in 2025, this book club will be hosted at Saunter Corner Bar (soon to be Meander Art Bar) in Upper Fells (1801 E Lombard St). It should last for approximately an hour and will begin at 7:00 PM

ABOUT THE BOOK:

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.
