An intimate graphic memoir by a New York Times–bestselling writer about his semester abroad in Beirut as he grows close to a crowd of mostly LGBTQ students, and suffers a mental breakdown while the city erupts into revolution. I still remember my first graphic memoir: Fun Home, during my freshman year of college. As a trans man coming to terms with my gender identity, I found Alison Bechdel’s journey as a young queer person both cathartic and insightful. Graphic memoirs are incredible in the way that they illustrate so vividly what it’s like to be and feel as another person did.
