Review

Bechdel’s
combination of simple illustration and introspective narration creates a
strangely poignant yet clinical portrait of her father, and by parallel of
her younger self. The writing is deceptively detached and occasionally
painfully self-aware—this is, by no means, a comfortable book to read. Yet it
provides an incredible insight not into the authors subject (her father) but
rather into the author herself. Definitely recommend, especially for anyone
interested in or studying LGBTQIA history, narratives, and theory.
