About This Quote

Alison Bechdel's quotes suggest that she is a reader as well as a writer. She seems to enjoy reading as much as she enjoys writing. She claims, however, that her marginalia are so incriminating that she has to be selective about the books she lends out. This is not surprising. She has said before that she tends to write about things that interest her rather than what the general public may want to read.
