Fun Home is a graphic memoir by Alison Bechdel, exploring her complex relationship with her father, Bruce. Set around their family-owned funeral home ("fun home"), it delves into themes of identity, family secrets, and sexuality. Bechdel reflects on her childhood, her coming out as a lesbian, and the revelations about her father's hidden life, all while using literature and art to frame her story. The memoir is poignant, darkly funny, and introspective.
