Hi classes! I wanted to inaugurate the site by mentioning a wonderful graphic novel I recently read. Fun Home is a memoir (how convenient - we're writing personal essays as we speak!) about a woman who found out her father was a pedophile.
The sly illustrations add humor and meaning to the text, which is sparse but effective. Literary references are sprinkled throughout, a plus for book lovers.
Every bit as moving and addictive as a really well-written traditional novel, this graphic novel is worth more than the day or two it takes to devour.
