Bechdel lê Woolf e Joyce
View through CrossRef
Fun Home and Are You My Mother? are two graphic novels by Alison Bechdel, an American author who established her career with the series Dykes to Watch Out For in the 1980s. In these memoir-like novels, the author describes her relationship with her parents, interspersed with literary references. Thus, James Joyce will guide her to the father, while Virginia Woolf is one of the authors that leads her to the mother. Through these authors, she reads her parents, whom she explicitly treats as characters in a (an auto)fiction. In this article, we present some of the effects of these literary interventions throughout these comics, to understand how these “difficult” authors appear framed by Bechdel’s seemingly simple drawings, to compose a particular genre of comics-essay.
