She first started getting attention for her comic strip&amp;nbsp;Dykes to Watch Out For&amp;nbsp;and later wrote a graphic memoir called&amp;nbsp;Fun Home&amp;nbsp;which is about her father\u2019s troubled life and her own experience of coming out as a lesbian. In 2015,&amp;nbsp;Fun Home&amp;nbsp;was produced as a Broadway&amp;nbsp;musical and won 5 Tony Awards. Her new graphic novel&amp;nbsp;Spent&amp;nbsp;is about an artist trying to come to terms with her past success. And here\u2019s a spoiler. She includes this in her story but Alison Bechdel doesn\u2019t really run a sanctuary farm for pygmy goats. \u201cNow What?\u201d is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta. ","author_name":"Now What?
