Auf der Suche nach den besten Graphic Novels stolperte ich über dieses Buch. Bisher habe ich es nur zur Hälfte gelesen, was wohl am nicht so einfachen Plot liegt. Es ist eine sehr perönliche Geschichte über ein großes Familengeheimnis. Der Humor erscheint mir spröde, der Inhalt nicht einfach zu verdauen. Trotzdem sehr inspirierend. Spannend fand ich die literarischen Querverweise. Durch 'Fun Home' 'entdeckte' ich Roald Dahl, der bisher nicht 'auf meinem Schirm' war. ( ![]()
Bechdel’s style is straightforward. Her detailed drawings strive to present what she remembers accurately and with detail. The book is black-and-white with a blue-grey watercolor wash that provides depth and adds to the feeling of memory.
This book takes its place alongside the unnerving, memorable, darkly funny family memoirs of Augusten Burroughs and Mary Karr. It's a father-daughter tale perfectly suited to the graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian house, a third-generation funeral home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with male students and a family babysitter. Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints dusting caskets at the family-owned 'fun home, ' as Alison and her brothers call it, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescence, the denouement is swift, graphic, and redemptive.--From publisher description. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
