We are very excited to welcome Alison Bechdel for a discussion of her new graphic memoir, Are You My Mother?, a follow-up to the wonderful, bestselling, Fun Home. Where Fun Home explored the mystery of Bechdel's father--a depressed, closeted gay man--Are You My Mother? examines the author's relationship with her mother, a woman unhappy in her marriage who withheld affectionate gestures from her daughter from the time Bechdel was seven years old. Bechdel's artwork offers an unflinching look at her childhood and family life.
