Fun home

This is an intriguing memoir that only reinforced my ever present doubt that there are indeed happy families out there. It feels like all adults get to a point where they give up on being their authentic selves, embrace their masks and play roles that eat them from the inside. And they don't realize they're just making life more unbearable for themselves and everyone else around them. Everyone's walking with a metaphorical cross on their shoulders and then they pass it on to their children.

It is a meaningful story yet I always felt kept at an arm's length and the art itself wasn't as compelling as I hoped so I can't say this will be one of my favorites.
