Maus I: A Survivor's Tale
by
Art Spiegelman
River\ Book Room
, October 24, 2014
Art Spiegelman has written a nonfiction graphic novel about his father's Polish Jew holocaust experience during WWII. This graphic novel is rich with symbolism and truth from the predatory cat in the middle of the Nazi symbol on the inside cover to the use of the German word Maus (mouse) in title and character! The inside look at holocaust family dynamics shows the continuum of escape by murder/suicide to hiding. Only the graphic presentation lightens the horrific reality of this period in history! After reading Maus I, one will want to continue with Maus II.
