Alison Bechdel's Fun Home was a literary phenomenon: 'an extraordinarily intimate account of family secrets that manages to be shocking, unsettling and life-affirming at the same time', as Sarah Walters wrote in the Guardian. The Times said it was 'incontestibly the graphic book of the year', while the Observer recently chose it as one of the ten best graphic novels ever published.
While Fun Home explored Bechdel's relationship with her father, a closeted homsexual, this new memoir is about her mother - a voracious reader, a music lover, a passionate amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood... and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter goodnight, for ever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf.
It's a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott to one explosively illuminating Dr Seuss illustration, to Bechdel's own (serially monogamous) love life. And, finally, back to Mother - to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers.Alison Bechdel's Fun Home was a literary phenomenon: 'an extraordinarily intimate account of family secrets that manages to be shocking, unsettling and life-affirming at the same time', as Sarah Walters wrote in the Guardian.

Alison Bechdel's Fun Home is an astonishing advertisement for this emerging literary form." — USA TodayPrésentation de l'éditeurAlison Bechdel's Fun Home was a literary phenomenon: 'an extraordinarily intimate account of family secrets that manages to be shocking, unsettling and life-affirming at the same time', as Sarah Walters wrote in the Guardian.

2 internautes sur 2 ont trouvé ce commentaire utile.Il suffit d'un peu de curiosité...Par amidonSi, dès qu'on essaye de comprendre les ressorts de notre vie, ce qui nous meut, ce qui fait le tissu de nos peurs, de nos désirs, on ne s'adresse plus qu'aux "inconditionnels", alors ce sont tous les livres qui comptent qu'on peut remiser pour "prise de tête".Il faut juste un peu de curiosité intellectuelle, accepter parfois quelques efforts et très vite on est pris d'affection pour Alison et pour sa mère, on a le sentiment aussi souvent qu'on regarde un miroir.A travers le singulier, l'universel: vieux refrain de la grande littérature, qui prend pleinement sens ici. Tout est d'une rare intelligence et d'une vraie beauté (le dessin, qui semble si transparent, est inimitable; la mise en page, comme dans "Fun Home" incroyablement subtile, cette façon si honnête d'utiliser textes et archives).Surtout, on perçoit une vraie générosité: Alison Bechdel se donne à nous mais aussi veut nous donner autant d'amour qu'elle aimerait en recevoir. Quelque chose de Montaigne...
