Opis

A voracious reader, a lover of music, an amateur actress, Alison Bechdel's mother is also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Alison Bechdel's childhood ...and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter goodnight, forever, when she was seven. This title presents her portrait.

Recenzje

Fun Home and Are You My Mother? are the kind of head-spinningly thoughtful and textured works that make you rejoice in the comic-book form. Daily Telegraph
