Some at Duke Refuse the Summer Reading, A Graphic Novel About Sexual Identity

 

Some incoming freshman objected to the recommended summer reading at Duke University, the student newspaper the Chronicle reported, sparking a debate over morality, sexual identity and literature online before the school year even began. “Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic” is a best-selling graphic novel by cartoonist Alison Bechdel. The graphic novel, whose musical adaptation was a finalist for a Pulitzer Prize for drama, was recommended to freshmen arriving on campus to prompt discussion about difficult issues.
