Graphic Memoir Effectiveness in Fun Home: A Tragicomic Analysis

The memoir is a literary genre that is non-fiction and is a collection of memories that an author documents about events or moments that took place in his or her life (Couser 12). In graphical memoirs, images are used in relaying the messages with or without some accompanying texts. This argumentative essay will argue in favor of the graphic memoir effectiveness as a mode in Alison Bechdel’s novel “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic.” Furthermore, the essay will use secondary texts from Thomas Couser’s Memoir.
