memoir queer family father
Our Take
Bechdel maps her father's death against her own coming out with the precision of someone who spent years not understanding the connection. The graphic memoir form makes the silences visible — what is not said fills panels the way it filled rooms. Her father died before she could know him and she has been drawing him ever since.
