Even more than the content, what gives me pleasure is the way the rhythm of “Fun Home” — its recursive structure, its spiraling revisitations of long-past events — replicates my experience of my own mind. Very few books read like my brain feels — but this one does. It’s startling. It’s exquisite. It’s home — not the one I know, but a different yet familiar home in the shape of a book.
