Are You My Mother?

Memoir by Alison Bechdel

Blurb

Are You My Mother?: A Comic Drama is a graphic memoir written and illustrated by Alison Bechdel. The book is a companion piece to her earlier work, Fun Home. While Fun Home dealt with Bechdel's relationship with her father, Are You My Mother? is about her relationship with her mother. Bechdel interweaves memoir with psychoanalysis and exploration of various literary works, particularly Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse.
Its title alludes to the children's picture book Are You My Mother?, written by P. D. Eastman.
