5/30/2023 0 Comments Alison bechdel fun home musical![]() The groundbreaking production will tour the US starting later this year. “Fun Home” is now being performed on Broadway and earned five Tony Awards in 2015, including Best Musical. She talked about the book onstage in Aspen, Colorado, last month, as part of Aspen Words’ Winter Words series. It was their last conversation, she said, before he took his life by suicide a few months later.īechdel, a MacArthur Fellow, first wrote about this scene in 2006, when her graphic memoir “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic,” was released. Eventually she broached the topic, but the conversation was strange and filled with awkward silences. She had come out as a lesbian and desired to “be seen” by her father, she said. Home on break from college, she badly wanted to connect with her long-closeted dad. Years ago, cartoonist Alison Bechdel experienced a pivotal moment during a car ride with her father.

Her father’s sister had mental health issues and depression before committing suicide, and he is constantly terrified that Mim might have the same issues because she is prone to dark thoughts and strange behaviors. Mental health is a key theme-both how Mim experiences it and how others view it. The story is told linearly as Mim travels from Mississippi to Ohio, and the flashbacks and letters fill in critical details about Mim’s history that reveal her thoughts and reasons for running away. ![]() The story is told in the first-person point of view, and it alternates between Mim’s present journey, flashbacks to her past, and letters to her in-utero half-sister. She steals her stepmother’s money, runs away, and buys a Greyhound ticket to Ohio. Mim accidentally overhears her dad talking about her sick mom and decides that her mom needs her. Her mom has stopped calling or sending letters. Mim doesn’t adjust well to the move: She misses her mom, resents her dad, and hates her stepmother. Shortly before her journey, her parents divorced, and her father remarried and moved the family to Mississippi. In Mosquitoland, David Arnold has created one of the most unique narrative voices to show up in the world of young adult fiction. The story follows 16-year-old Mary Iris Malone, also referred to as Mim, as she travels alone from Jackson, Mississippi, to Cleveland, Ohio. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I like Frog and Toad's neatly complementary personalities, too. Arnold Lobel's Frog and Toad Are Friends, published in 1970, is the first in a series of four books about these two famous friends What's not to love about these 2 personalities Throw in the striped trousers and 1960s sport coats the two of them wear, and you have the suggestion that the Frog and Toad adventures could take place anywhere and in any era. Their windows are latticed, the wallpaper is flocked, the furniture is sturdy and the lamps and tea things are filigreed. Frog and Toad's cottages emanate a blend of Victorian and Edwardian cosiness. ![]() Lobel's illustrations have that fairy-tale timelessness about them. (Have I mentioned to you all that I'm working on my librarian credentials?) But I can tell you lots about one of my favourite books that I mentioned briefly in my November 20th post.įrog and Toad Are Friends by Arnold Lobel, published in 1970, is the first in a series of four books about these two famous friends – all of which are enduring classics, in my view.
