Fun Home

"Fun Home" is a candid graphic memoir by American artist Alison Bechdel, after whom a test is named for assessing artistic works for gender bias. Honestly and impartially, Bechdel paints pictures of her childhood and youth, speaks about the challenges of self-discovery and sexual identity, and describes her relationship with her father, a concealed homosexual. The family story, in her eyes, takes on the character of a tragicomedy. "Fun Home" was included in the list of the best books of 2006 by the New York Times, The Guardian, and Entertainment Weekly, and has received numerous prestigious awards, including the Will Eisner Award, Lambda, GLAAD Media Award, and Stonewall Book Award. In 2013, the theater adaptation of the comic premiered on Broadway. It was awarded the "Tony" in the category of "Best Musical," and its script was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. .
