Independent Research Project...

...SO....My window was loading from the cache, so now I can see the questions, but I couldn't before.

I really was hoping to do research on Alison Bechdel, but I'm not sure if she is "experimental" enough. Her graphic novel, Fun Home, really blew my mind on what text was and what it could be...It also was the first graphic novel with such subtly, hidden messages, and I'd really like to do more research on her as an author.

For this, I would like to research her history, the other texts she has produced and her place within the literary and LGBT communities. I just find her really interesting and since her book was the one that inspired me to take this class, I'd like to be able to look back on her with fresh eyes and perhaps learn more about her and her genre.

Is this okay? Is she "experimental" enough, or do I need to pick some sort of flash poet?
