The World of Bechdel's Tumultuous Childhood

The memoir follows Alison Bechdel's coming-of-age in the 1970s. She grows up in a small Pennsylvania town with her enigmatic father, Bruce, a closeted gay man who runs a funeral home. Bechdel's childhood is a complex tapestry of love, humor, and secrets.
