More Fun Home press

May 24th, 2006 | Uncategorized

I’m trying to make a separate page to list links to reviews and interviews, but I haven’t figured out how to do it yet. In the meantime, the Star-Tribune in Minneapolis ran a nice joint review of Fun Home and artbabe Jessica Abel’s graphic novel La Perdida.

My friend, writer Susan Stinson, posted a lovely review of Fun Home in her LiveJournal. Yeah, okay, she’s my friend, but still.

And get this. Time Magazine included Fun Home in a list of “5 Memoirs That Are Worth Your Time,” which also included books by Julia Child, Roger Angell, Edmund White, and Howell Raines. Dang! I don’t know how long this link will last…and you have to click through to page two to see my book.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.

    That is wonderful but not surprising, o alison bechdel. i must admit i snagged a Fun Home review copy a few months back (one perk of my gig) and it is smart, deeply felt, and easy-peezy on the eyes. I read it twice. So far.

    I enjoyed the review, but really loved the book.
    I scanned the other items on the web page with your review.
