Books like Fun Home by Jeanine Tesori


"Fun Home" follows a younger version of the graphic novelist who grew up in a family funeral business, experiencing the peculiar rhythms of small-town life. As she comes to terms with her own identity and sexual orientation, the story weaves in the complex and unresolved questions surrounding her father’s hidden desires. The musical won’t merely recount memories—it examines how our past shapes our present and how love and loss intersect in unexpected places.
