Time magazine named Alison Bechdel's graphic novel Fun Home as its top book of the year, and it spent a good chunk of 2006 on the New York Times best-seller list. Bechdel is the artist/writer best known for her syndicated comic strip "Dykes To Watch Out For". It's pretty rare for (a) autobiography, (b) lesbianism, or (c) a graphic novel to be at the top of any critical list of best books of the year; hitting the trifecta is unprecedented. Which of these three aspects is most surprising? Does Fun Home's success bode well for the future?
