Description
Alison Bechdel's Are You My Mother? is a poignant and humorous graphic memoir that explores her complex relationship with her mother. A voracious reader, music lover, and passionate amateur actor, Bechdel's mother was a woman whose artistic aspirations simmered beneath the surface of their childhood.
The book delves into the mother-daughter gulf that formed when Bechdel was seven years old, after her mother stopped touching or kissing her goodnight. With clever, pieced-together storytelling and beautifully illustrated pages, Bechdel embarks on a quest to understand this pivotal moment in their lives.
This unique lens offers a beautiful look at the complexity and dysfunctionality of family relationships, encouraging readers to re-examine their own connections with loved ones. A thought-provoking and absorbing read, Are You My Mother? is a compelling exploration of love, identity, and the power of storytelling.
