Boobs, booze, banned books, and the Bechdel Test (and graphic novels, literary references, and talking about the weather). The Book Interrupted women continue Season Two with “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic” by Alison Bechdel. Each member expresses individually how they feel either before reading or beginning to read “Fun Home”, then they continue the discussion into a group chat.

Discussion Points:

  • Personal journals
  • Fun Home in the “book club bag” at the library
  • What’s the process of Bechdel creating her graphic novels? 
  • Fun Home has been banned in schools and libraries in the USA
  • The graphic images in the book
  • The layout - how is it reading a graphic novel? Using a different mindset.
  • Literary references 
  • Boobs and booze and banned books 
  • The Bechdel Test - women in film
  • Small talk - talking about the weather
  • Pink eye
