From the best-selling author of "Fun Home," "Time "magazine's No. 1
Book of the Year, a brilliantly told graphic memoir of Alison
Bechdel becoming the artist her mother wanted to be.
Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home" was a pop culture and literary
phenomenon. Now, a second thrilling tale of filial sleuthery, this
time about her mother: voracious reader, music lover, passionate
amateur actor. Also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay
man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of
Bechdel's childhood . . . and who stopped touching or kissing her
daughter good night, forever, 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 the iconic
twentieth-century psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, to one
explosively illuminating Dr. Seuss illustration, to Bechdel's own
(serially monogamous) adult 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.
