another literarily dense offering from bechdel, who I now hear has turned her first book, 'fun home,' into a musical that's winning all the New York awards. I think this book might be even better, structurally. each chapter opens with a dream that is expanded in that chapter, going forward or back in her timeline to make that theme's point. in fact, I think each chapter could work on it's own. her stuff is worth owning, and rereading, and using it as a jump-off point to start your own psychoanalysis.
