Bechdel Background…

As I was trolling around the web for some suitable background tidbits related to our second-to-last autobiography, Fun Home, I first arrived at Bechdel’s home base on the interweb. It’s a lovely space.  It also led me to these two videos which I think are fascinating not only because they offer a behind-the-scenes look at Bechdel’s complex artistic process, but they also relate to certain core concepts concerning autobiography and how the autobiographical self arrives, both implicitly and explicitly, in each text. We’ll watch these in class, but I wanted to post them here in case you wanted to check them out later as well.
