Non-Fiction Book GroupTuesday, June 24, 10:30 am Join us to discuss Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel. In this graphic memoir, Alison Bechdel 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. You can attend even if you haven’t read the book!
