The Interviews with Icons series includes two entries connected to Alison Bechdel: Tea with Winnicott (2016) and Coffee with Freud (2017). Both books use the format of an imagined conversation with a major figure from the history of psychoanalysis.
Donald Winnicott and Sigmund Freud are recurring intellectual touchstones in Bechdel’s graphic memoirs, particularly Are You My Mother?, which draws heavily on Winnicott’s ideas about maternal relationships. These books extend that interest into a different format, offering readers a way into the thinkers who have shaped Bechdel’s own work.
