  • "Graphic memoir about Bechdel's troubled relationship with her distant, unhappy mother and her experiences with psychoanalysis, with particular reference to the work of Donald Winnicott."
  • "Alison Bechdel's "Fun Home", her remarkable graphic memoir about her father, established itself immediately as a classic of the genre, being chosen as "Time" Magazine's Best Book of the Year for 2006, while "The Times" called it 'a profound and important book'. Now Bechdel has written another memoir, equally rich and funny, about her mother. A voracious reader, a lover of music (from opera to death metal), a passionate amateur actress, she is also a woman, unhappily married to a closeted gay man, whose artistic aspirations simmered under the surface of Bechdel's childhood ...and who stopped touching or kissing her daughter goodnight, forever, when she was seven. Poignantly, hilariously, Bechdel embarks on a quest for answers concerning the mother-daughter gulf. The result is a richly layered search that leads readers from the fascinating life and work of psychoanalyst Donald Winnicott and the novels of Virginia Woolf to Bechdel's own adult love life. And, finally, back to Mother - to a truce, fragile and real-time, that will move and astonish all adult children of gifted mothers."
  • "Depicts the author's mother as a voracious reader, music lover, and passionate amateur actress who quietly suffers as the wife of a closeted gay artist and withdraws from her young daughter, who searches for answers to the separation later in life."
  • "L'auteure sonde les origines de son homosexualité à travers une quête tragi-comique autour de sa relation à sa mère, de la difficulté d'être enfant et de se bâtir une vie amoureuse harmonieuse. Elle met en scène les figures icôniques de Virginia Woolf, du psychanalyste Donald Winnicott et du docteur Seuss."
