Video of Alison Bechdel

Houghton Mifflin is thrilled to be publishing a graphic narrative—our first—that is as literary and as brilliantly told as Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home. A book Chip Kidd, author of The Cheese Monkeys , calls “Stupendous.” Alison’s creative process is another fascinating part of the story. In this video you will see the process of creating Fun Home—a frame-by-frame journey that includes archival research, historic and even emotional reenactments, and a staggering number of digital photos.
