Queer Book Club is a small but enthusiastic community that meets monthly to discuss queer-themed books spanning numerous genres.
This month we'll be meeting on the Martin Luther King Jr Memorial Library's beautiful rooftop garden. In case of rain, join us inside in room 401-D. We'll be discussing the graphic memoir, Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel:
Taking its place alongside the unnerving, memorable, darkly funny family memoirs of Augusten Burroughs and Mary Karr.
A father-daughter tale perfectly suited to the graphic memoir form.
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, the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of books.
