Alison Bechdel · Rerervoir Books · 2022
Alison Bechdel looks for something but does not know what. Probably something that makes sense of life fifties, when he is already aware of his physical decline and having surpassed half of his life. Has sought it in therapy, Reading about the life and work of admired romantic authors, In marathon working days, In meditation, Buddhism, Yoga, Nature and sport. It turns out that this intellectual -looking cartoonist who reached world fame with his comic Fun Home - an Eisner was adapted and was adapted to the Broadway musical theater where he won five Tony Awards - is a fan of the exercise who likes, Despite its arrhythmias, The suffering that the bike provides, Coronar mountains, el karate, the background skiing or running kilometers and kilometers. What is about to see is whether all this are remedies to placate your neurosis or feed it. Bechdel puts his life at the service of history through, with humor, epic episodes, painful, traumatic and shameful to realize the impossible that joy is without pain, how absurd life would be without death. And enjoy the exercise as when I was a girl, For pure pleasure. S.M.
