      I’m still waiting to receive this book! Would you let me know when you expect to ship it?

      I knew she was a cartoonist but did not know the memoir would be in cartoon form. It was reasonably well written but her family members just didn’t come alive for me.

      As a lesbian, I found it especially upsetting to read about yet another woman who felt like she had come home when she put on her father’s clothes.

      I live a short distance from Alison Bechdel in Vermont. Perhaps because of this, I have tended to feel as though we share a spiritual bond. This book increased that bond; now I feel as though I am almost welcome as I spend my evenings stalking her through the hills and hollows of Bolton.

      This work was well-drawn, as is all of Bechdel’s work. It was also incredibly boring, kind of aimless, self-absorbed catharsis. I also thought we’d get to know more about her father’s life, thoughts, feelings…along with hers.

      I love her other stuff, but this rambling tome just wasn’t for me.

      This autobiography of a cartoonist is done in cartoon form, and some of the scenes are very risqué.
