What a bizar story,great.

Could you add Engish subtitles to this video? It would be great to know what is being said.

I love the irony and humour in Bechdel's writing, and as a dyke, I very much appreciate her honesty and self-knowledge which she generously shares through her work.

Deutsche Deutsche Uber Alles!

Es ist wie es ist.

herrischer, gefühlskalter Vater, der auch noch homo ist - das Ergebnis ein talentierter Junge der sein Geschlecht verleugnet oder umgekehrt. Ich finde es irgendwie eigenartig wieso besonders Lesben immer auch so aussehen müssen und wieso sie auch immer da so einen Vaterkomplex haben, der ihr persönliches Männerbild zerschellen lässt. Wirkt irgendwie zu deterministisch, beinah wie ein soziologisches "Opfer"

Thank you very much. I love Alison Bechdels Work very much. I've read her "Dykes to watch out for"-Books again and again. They're so good drawn and full of interesting topics. I'll sure will buy her family story asap.

Part 8: Now Fun Home gets published also here -- the story of a self-discovery, a true story witch passes of like a movie. --- The End ---

I am sure there is room for much improvement but I hope it gives you an idea what it was about.

Part 7: Only now, by her work on Fun Home she coped with her father's death. The funeral back then was so surreal and meaningless. That here is a better way to remember my father.

Fun home reads like a novel of John ??? -- simply great American literature, narrated in precise language, elaborate pictures and bitter-sweet humour.

"Maybe one of my greatest regrets is that my father never took me along to a gay bar."
