She’s the author of several novels\, including A THIN BRIGHT LINE\, and the recent story collection\, LAVA FALLS. Her fiction has won a California Arts Council Fellowship in Literature\, an American Library Association Stonewall Award\, a Yaddo Fellowship\, and two National Science Foundation Artists & Writers Fellowships. She’s a three-time finalist for the Ferro-Grumley Award and a six-time finalist for the Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction. Ms. called her work “fabulous feminist fiction” and the New York Times said her work “triumphs as an intimate and humane evocation of day-to-day life under inhumane circumstances.”  \n  \n \nAlison Bechdel is the author of the beloved comic strip\, DYKES TO WATCH OUT FOR\, and the graphic memoir\, FUN HOME: A FAMILY TRAGICOMIC\, which Time magazine named the Best Book of 2006. The book was adapted into a musical by the playwright Lisa Kron and the composer Jeanine Tesori. It opened on Broadway at the Circle in the Square Theater on April 19\, 2015\, and won five Tony Awards\, including “Best Musical.” Her most recent book\, THE SECRET TO SUPERHUMAN STRENGTH\, is about her lifetime relationship to the spiritual\, philosophical\, and physical challenges of fitness. The Atlantic called the book “quietly astonishing.” She has been awarded Guggenheim and MacArthur Fellowships. \n
