Research: Fun Home, Alison Bechdel

"Fun Home (subtitled A Family Tragicomic) is a 2006 graphic memoir by American writer Alison Bechdel. It chronicles the author's childhood and youth in rural Pennsylvania, United States, focusing on her complex relationship with her father."

The narrative of Fun Home is non-linear and recursive. Incidents are told and re-told in the light of new information or themes. The illustrations within Fun Home are quite simple, black and white line drawings with speech bubbles and a short extract of text explaining what's going on at the top. 

"The book interweaves incidents from family and individual lives with Alison's childhood journal entries, her father's photographs, and scenes from the books she and her father share as a form of personal communication and analysis." The comic goes back and forwards between past and present, this is something I feel is really effective and keeps the audience interested and engaged with the narrative.
