Description
Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother? A Comic Drama is a poignant and hilarious graphic memoir that explores the complex relationship between a mother and daughter. The book tells the story of Bechdel's own search for answers about her mother's past, which leads her to fascinating discoveries about the life and work of iconic psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott, and ultimately, to a deeper understanding of her own family dynamics. Through a richly layered narrative, Bechdel embarks on a quest to uncover the truth about her mother's life, including her own artistic aspirations and her experiences as a woman in a non-traditional family. Along the way, she also reflects on her own adult love life and the ways in which her mother's influence has shaped her own identity. The result is a deeply personal and thought-provoking exploration of the mother-daughter bond, one that is both moving and astonishing.
