Fun Home by Alison Bechdel

What books would you recommend to the main character of the book and why?


Fun Home is an autobiography about growing up in a funeral home. Alison's dad is very depressed, but he is also a literary companion. This book is also about discovery of one's self, as Alison realizes that she is a lesbian. I would recommend Honor Girl to Alison because it is also about a lesbian finding herself.


Fun Home is also a broadway musical.
