Interesting and provocative book...I now know what a "graphic novel" is! I enjoyed her literary contrasting of her father, with Joyce and Proust. Enjoyed her humor, and especially her introspection of life with her family, versus others and stories from great literature. What a sense of loss for her, right as she was coming to terms with her lesbianism. What a relationship they could have had if he had lived. I enjoyed this; moves quickly...like a comic "graphic novel"!
