Alison Bechdel's Fun Home

After reading Douglas Wolk's review of this, and hearing it recommended by Al I picked this up. It's indeed pretty amazing, leaving me with all sorts of thoughts. The multitude of literary references remind me of how much I still have to read. The setting in a small town in Pennsylvania makes me think about how long it's been since I've left the bay area. The portrait of her father is incredibly complex.
