Queer / Feminist

Doing a queer reading of Fun Fouse is like doing a biblical reading of the first testament. The book is about Alison's sexuality as much as it is about her dad's, and how she speculates his closeted attraction may have had a hand in his life and (possible) suicide.

Her identity as a lesbian casts everything in a new light for her, as it may do for the reader as well as they put themselves into her shoes.

and her sexualty itself is processed through classical fiction. Fitting, as she already describes the rest of her life like this.
