This book takes its place alongside the unnerving, memorable, darkly funny family
memoirs of Augusten Burroughs and Mary Karr. It's a father-daughter tale perfectly
suited to the graphic memoir form. Meet Alison's father, a historic preservation expert
and obsessive restorer of the family's Victorian house, a third-generation funeral
home director, a high school English teacher, an icily distant parent, and a closeted
homosexual who, as it turns out, is involved with male students and a family babysitter.
Through narrative that is alternately heartbreaking and fiercely funny, we are drawn
into a daughter's complex yearning for her father. And yet, apart from assigned stints
dusting caskets at the family-owned 'fun home, ' as Alison and her brothers call it,
the relationship achieves its most intimate expression through the shared code of
books. When Alison comes out as homosexual herself in late adolescence, the denouement
is swift, graphic, and redemptive
