I know Fun Home has gotten a lot of good reviews, but this article by Hillary Chute in the Village Voice is excellent. She really gets the book. A most gratifying sensation indeed.

    Hey Alison,

    In response to your question in the Village Voice article, “It’s like, how come nobody paid any attention to me before?,” I think it is partly about having a mainstream publisher and partly about making a genre change.

    Your publisher has financial resources and strong media connections–that seems to have made a big difference in getting FUN HOME reviewed (And reviews–especially in the New York Times–seem to beget more reviews.) Also, memoir is hugely popular now. People, for better or worse, value what is “real” despite the powerful truth of fiction.

    I also wonder, distrubingly so, if the mainstream press is paying attention because FUN HOME focuses largely on one closeted gay man instead of many out lesbians.

    But, more than all these possibilities, I think FUN HOME is just one hell of a good book. I remember when I reviewed an early collection of DTWOF years ago, and likened it to a novel. You told me (and rightly so) it wasn’t like a novel because it was episodic and you couldn’t go back and rework strips after the fact. FUN HOME is the opposite. As Hillary Chute says in the Voice review, it’s recursive, not chronological, a huge departure from DTWOF. You can and did take advantage of the non-linear form to layer, interweave and revisit themes and images.

    If, for some immensely insane reason, you wanted to take all your DTWOF columns and revamp them into a graphic novel with a dramatic arc, cutting back and forth between time periods, enriched by 20 years of hindsight, you could likely acheive similar results.

    But, as I said, that would be truly insane. Right?

  2. Ginjoint says:

    Um, yeah, what, what Hillary said! That’s what I was trying to spew when I handed the book to my friend!

    Thank God for writers.

    Until you pointed it out, I hadn’t picked up on the connection between your system of “posing” (you poser!) with the digital camera, and your notations in your childhood journals (i.e., not trusting your own perceptions.) This struck me, as I think of you as such a keenly perceptive person…your intense eyes on the world, on motivations, on effects.

    I wanted to go see you in Chicago (it’s where I live), but I shied out at the last minute. I don’t do well in big groups. I shop often at Women & Children First (of course it’s where I bought Fun Home), so I should’ve felt safe enough, but alas. I hope you enjoyed your brief time here, and I’m glad you missed the derailing that happened on the Blue Line a couple of days later!

  3. Aunt Soozie says:

    Fabulous and comprehensive review. Thanks for sharing the link.

  4. Sarah R. says:

    One of the things I wanted to comment on (and in doing so, hopefully elicit your further comments) during the session at A Room of One’s Own is the way in which your own erudition, so evident to those of us who have read DTWOF over the years and particularly apparent(and central to the development of the story) in Fun Home.

    Your relationship with your father was problematic, as you relayed it, in no small part due to the fact that his relationship with himself and with truth (or lack thereof) was so layered and complex. I have often found it ironic the ways in which those of us who grew up with difficult/distant/troubled parents have often gone on to mirror them in completely unexpected ways.

    In my own experience, I found myself sharing so many common interests (in film, for example, or tastes in photography or architecture or interiors) with my stepfather, my relationship with whom can best be characterized by the term “rocky,” that I became frustrated and felt compelled to deny those interests out of spite and due to a need for an independent identity. Yet, despite my best efforts to disassociate my own character from his, I am so much like him in temperment, tenor and interests that it is disturbingly uncanny.

    It’s one of the things I picked up on throughout my reading of Fun Home; the way your father, tyrant and flawed, influenced you so profoundly that, in order to tell his story (and, in so doing, your own), you went directly to the medium/vocabulary you both shared – classic literature – to do so. It’s a telling legacy to him and a sign of his deep influence on you (and, again, I contend the apple does not fall far from the tree in terms of shared love of culture, literature, erudition, and the pursuit of knowledge), even though the relationship you had, as described in the book, was so often framed in distance, anger and a feeling of ill at ease – from which I imagine you must have had some urge to rebel.

    Don’t you feel like this is a bit coming full circle (what I was getting at, in fact, with my question about catharsis)? Do you welcome, identify with, or even accept what of your father lives on in you? Or is it an uneasy feeling? Or do you not see him in you at all?

    25 years of a different kind of social acceptance and a series of different choices separated you; switching time and circumstance between you, could the two of you just as easily lived in each other’s shoes?

    I should offer the disclaimer that I reread the book today.
    And the piece in The Voice is great.

  5. Joanna in Manchester, UK says:

    Oh God, that was a great review, although I’m wondering if I’m going to get substantially less out of the book because I don’t have all that classic literature under my belt. Is it OK to read it and not to realise where the parodies/adaptations/homages to other authors are? Can’t wait for it to be published over here.

    Incidentally – for whoever’s interested! – I’m going through the whole civil partnership thingy next weekend with my beloved, watched by our two sons. The way my life has turned out has definitely been affected by your portrayal of happy and healthy lesbian relationships and the decision of Clarice and Toni to have Raffi. Does that sound weird? Cartoon role models! Thank you for that, anyway.

  6. Vicky in London, UK says:

    For Joanna

    Fun Home is available in good bookstores in the UK – I got my mine in Gay’s The Word in London – give them a call if you can’t find it elsewhere.

    Congratulations on your civ part!

  7. Joanna in Manchester, UK says:

    Ooh, thanks for that. You’d think, working at Bounders I might have come across it, but no.

  8. Sarah R. says:

    I think it’s hilarious how so many of us have adopted the DTWOF names for the big box stores (e.g. Bounders; Papaya Republic, etc.).

  9. Jaibe says:

    What’s this about a promotional DVD coming with the book? Is that just the review copy? It sounds like the video you posted here a while ago… If it’s not just with the review copies, is there some way to get it if you already have the book?

  10. Deb says:

    Congratulations Joanna! We sent out invitations and all that to our ceremony…….inspired by Toni and Clarice…….now we are trying to figure out how to deal with the lesbian bed death thing…..how do you keep the passion going after being together for over 10 years? I am sure there is some answer to this in one of my DTWOF books! I too do not have a background in literature so perhaps I have missed the very subtle nuances to other authors and other themes from great writers…….but I have not enjoyed the books any less! Congrats again!

  11. Elizabeth Flora says:

    What intrigues me is that it’s Proust, Fitzgerald, Joyce and Camus who captured Bruce Bechdel’s imagination, not Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Paul Bowles or William Carlos Williams. And, then I’m compelled by other geographic proximities and/or queer artistic warp and weft that occurred in the same generations of daughter and father: Keith Haring from Kutztown PA (near my childhood home: Quakertown), Andy Warhol from Pittsburgh, Ginsberg and Williams from Patterson NJ. And, then the specifics of the West Village, missing perhaps from _Fun Home_ is a panel depicting the Keith Haring mural in the men’s bathroom at the LGBT Center on W. 13th Street (which was my Sistine Chapel).

  12. Roz Warren says:

    The difference between the way Fun Home has been celebrated by mainstream culture, and DTWOF has been pretty much ignored by mainstream culture, I think, boils down to how scarey a self-sufficient group of lesbians is to mainstream culture. Easier to pretend it doesn’t exist than to take it seriously. Also, nobody takes “comics” seriously. Why they don’t has always been a real mystery to me. Probably because people persist in thinking of them as being for children. Either way, mainstream culture, let’s face it, is FUCKED. What it decides to applaud and what bandwagon it happens to jump on is random and irrelevant. (That’s todays “happy thought”!)

  13. Sarah R. says:

    What intrigues me is that it’s Proust, Fitzgerald, Joyce and Camus who captured Bruce Bechdel’s imagination, not Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes, James Baldwin, Paul Bowles or William Carlos Williams.

    Don’t you think it was the very subtextual nature of the way in which Bechdel, Senior, read those tomes that attracted him to them, probably subconsciously, and would have, perhaps, led him to prefer them to the more overt works by those you identified?

    Do you think it was a lack of exposure to those newer, more contemporary (to him) and unorthodox authors?

    In other words, his choice in literature mirrored his choices (or circumstances) in life.

    Then again, look how he took to Kate Millet…

    I love this blog. 😀

  14. JJ says:

    “Dykes To Watch Out For” is an excellent comic but I think many have never seen it. I was talking about meeting Alison to a lesbian friend of mine and she had never seen the comic…I was flabbergasted.

    I also think that because of people’s fears and/or homophobia, they don’t want to read a comic with “Dykes” in the title. They are missing out on some really good stuff.
    But, I also wonder if straight people would get it like we do.

    The “Fun Home” book has a more “acceptable” title for reading it in public.
    I also think something different, like a graphic novel, is appealing to people at this time.

    Personally, I like the “Dykes” comics better although it was interesting to have the background reading on Alison early life.

  15. Sarah R. says:

    For the completists, there’s always The Indelible Alison Bechdel, as well. There’s some really terrific stuff in there, including stuff that harkens back to the Oberlin/Joan era, and another one-page autobiographical story that (I think) matches the tenor of much of Fun Home (although the author is awfully self-critical when discussing it in the book).

  16. Sir Real says:

    yes, indeed, there are several autobiographical stories in _The Indelible_ – including a coming out story. I’m finding it fascinating to review that version, with certain omissions now glaring in their absence! Bookishness – check. Anything about parents’ sexuality – nope.

    I’m reminded also of an early DTWOF strip wherein Mo is prompted to come out to her parents by her (then new) boss Jezanna. Mo eventually agrees, and, in what seemed to me an example of startlingly original and anti-heteronormative thinking, remarks something like – `who knows – they may be gay too’. Little did I know that Alison had direct inspiration for that particular line…

  17. desmene says:

    The comment made by a perspicacious friend who was persuaded to read “Fun Home” (and loved it!) was, “So Alison not only mirrors her father in her compulsions and obsessions, but she also also shows her links to her mother, the actor, as she poses for all the parts for her drawings…”
    Mais oui!

  18. Anne in Indiana says:

    For JJ — At least some straight people do “get” DTWOF, though I’m sure they don’t have the same experience of “oh my god/dess that’s MY community there on those pages” that many of us have. My straight sister stumbled across the books in her public library not long before I came out to her and, since I volunteered in a feminist bookstore at the time, called me up to ask if I’d ever heard of them. My first thought was “well, if she’s gonna learn about lesbian culture, at least she’s learning from an authoritative source!” Hehehe. (She got her husband hooked on the books too, and they got their whole UU young-adults group started reading on them — she told me once that at a party, there was a long discussion of “if you were a DTWOF character which one would you be” — & to the best of her knowledge everyone participating was straight!)

    Identifying with the characters & story & community in Fun Home is a little different — since it doesn’t take place *within* the lesbian community, there’s not so much of an additional layer of understanding added by being a part of that particular subculture. (Though I’m sure many of us nodded knowingly when we got to Alison’s coming-out story!) Fun Home is more a story about *individuals* than about a community per se, and maybe that’s part of why its initial appeal seems broader — although, as I’ve described, a lot of straight folks love DTWOF once they’ve discovered it & have gotten themselves past any initial resistance to reading “dyke stuff.”

    Plus, of course, as others have mentioned — never underestimate the power of the money & power held by mainstream publishers; the NY Times review being a prime example of that. Which is all a bit ironic, of course, but in this case I personally find myself absolutely delighted to see such a terrific book getting so much press and popular acceptance. 🙂

  19. JJ says:

    “My first thought was “well, if she’s gonna learn about lesbian culture, at least she’s learning from an authoritative source”

    Oh my, I had to laugh because it is so very true!

  20. Deb says:

    Damn right!

  21. Joanna in Manchester, UK says:

    Deb, thanks for your good wishes. Hmm. Not sure about LBD. I recently saw The L Word for the first time, and I’m *astounded* by the amount of sex they all have. Though I know it’s just a story…

  22. Deb says:

    You are most welcome! After reading about the LBD condition in DTWOF, I was able to put a word/phrase on what was happening for me in my relationship with my partner of over 10 years. Though the deep love and abiding respect is there, the sex and passion you have at the beginning of a relationship has changed…..as it does with het relationships. At the beginning, we had sex all the time and everywhere you could imagine! BTW, I should write a book! We were next door neighbors for years, married to men and having babies…….secretly attracted to each other for a long time. Our sex and bonding at first was pretty wild and wonderful……and it is still wonderful….not so wild now! Best wishes again Joanna to you and your beloved!

  23. Sarah R. says:

    The comment made by a perspicacious friend who was persuaded to read “Fun Home” (and loved it!) was, “So Alison not only mirrors her father in her compulsions and obsessions, but she also also shows her links to her mother, the actor, as she poses for all the parts for her drawings…”
    Mais oui!

    Oh my God, how astutely observed.

  24. Olivier says:

    “Also, memoir is hugely popular now.” Strike that “now”: it’s nothing new. Edmund White remarked decades ago that he crossed over in the US (well, sort of) when he went autobiographical and this even though the content of his autobiographical work was extremely, blatantly gay.

  25. Carmen Sandiego says:

    Deb, why not start sleeping with other lesbians? It sometimes helps if there are set rules and boundries. I think.

  26. Deb says:

    We actually tried that….but even with the rules and boundaries, there were emotional injuries that came with the decicion. We decided that the fun we have in sharing a bed together with the cuddling, laughing etc is just as bonding as sex….it’s not like we are totally celebate. Once a month is about it though. Maybe we are geeks, but we have a great time just talking and laughing….sometimes we do word-search races with duplicate magazines…..or watch TV. We always fall asleep in each other’s arms. Since the summer is here, I think it would be fun to make love outside…….in private of course. My partner is a little shy though….:(

  27. Carmen Sandiego says:

    ONCE A MONTH!!!! Poor thing. Maybe you guys need to do the Mo thing and get someone to talk to…”word search races with duplicate magazines”. Peter. Paul and Kareem, I think that you need alot of help.

  28. Carmen Sandiego says:

    Baby can we get a strip?

  29. Carmen Sandiego says:

    Comics of course.

  30. Ellen says:

    I know plenty of long-time lesbian couples who would very happy with “once a month” along with laughing, cuddling, talking, and falling asleep in each other’s arms. Beats 4 times a month and long silences, cold stares, and constant bickering about who is going to clean the cat box.

  31. Deb says:

    Well…….I don’t mean to be a distraction from the main topics of this blog……Alison’s great book, fantasic reviews and all that she has added to our culture & community. Thank you all for all the tips and thoughts. The main thing is that we are in love and still going strong after all these years, despite the change in the sex.

  32. Jaibe says:

    Carmen — last strip was 6th July, so we should wait until 20th to start begging 🙂

    Jaibe

  33. Ellen says:

    The next strip is out in Weird Sisters West. No spoilers, but it’s got a good balance of incisive social commentary and character development.

  34. Carmen Sandiego says:

    I’m sorry that I’m begging, I just need to know whats going on with Raffi.

  35. mlk says:

    I really enjoyed going back to The Indelible after reading Fun Home and seeing in it the seeds of Alison’s tour de force. I don’t believe they were intended as such, but strips in The Indelible foreshadow some of what Alison develops in the eventual disclosure about her family. Her mother’s b-day gift of GQ makes it into one of Alison’s autobiographical strips. Interesting that it’s incredibly funny in the strip, but somewhat embarassing in Fun Home. Alison, your ability to find humor in a painful reality is one of your most delightful gifts!

  36. JJ says:

    I was reading “Spawn of DTWOF” and was taken aback at a strip where Toni and Clarice’s midwife is on a country road on her bicycle and a truck charges past very close to her.
