Marc Singer on teaching Bechdel's Fun Home

Marc Singer is on week 9 of his comics class and teaching Bechdel's Fun Home, which is one of my favorite graphic novels. He's got a much better sense of the formalist art that I ever will though.

June 25: Author Appearance - Alison Bechdel, award-winning author of Fun Home

Dirk at Journalista noted that Alison Bechdel will be in town tomorrow at Lambda Rising on Dupont Circle (why do I have to read blogs based out of Seattle to find this out?). This was one of my favorite books of last year - I strongly recommend it. I already have a signed copy, but if anyone wants to go, let me know and I might drive back in.

Come and meet Alison and get a copy of this masterpiece signed!

June 25: Alison Bechdel in Washington; we're not invited

Because it's an... American Library Association Event, for the GLBTRT Stonewall Book Awards Brunch, 10:30 am - 1:00 pm. Buy the book anyway when she's on her paperback tour - it was one of the best I read last year. This year I'm pushing Bertozzi's The Salon.

Alison Bechdel booksigning followup UPDATED

Politics and Prose put an interview with Bechdel on their website.

Also they sell recordings of the event and noted in their newsletter that Bechdel is available. I've ordered mine.

Bechdel wrote about the booksigning in her blog as did Jenny Miller on her blog.

Oct 2 Booksigning - Alison Bechdel REMINDER

Just a reminder - and note the time is an hour later than usual. I probably won't make it to this, but if anyone goes, feel free to comment here. Again, this is one of the best graphic novels of 2006.

ALISON BECHDEL
FUN HOME (Houghton Mifflin, $19.95)

In this illustrated memoir, Bechdel tells the story of her relationship with her father—an artistic, obsessive, and tragically repressed man. Bechdel has won acclaim for her hilarious, high-minded comic portraits of lesbian life, and this rich, beautiful work is a remarkable demonstration of her power as a storyteller.
