Here is a pretty interesting interview with Bechdel on progressive radio. she gives an overview of her book in this interview, touching on the social and political climate of her time. i found this article pretty interesting. out of the three personal memoirs, in two of them the protagonists are seeing therapists. bechdel mentions briefly how she is seeing a therapist now. both spiegelman’s and bechdel’s family experiences have been more than traumatizing, each dealing with tragic deaths in their families. These relationships are pretty fascinating, which is why i think the memoirs make for good reads. anyhow, the interview is pretty cool and covers some good topics.
