About This Item
The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in "drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust" (The New York Times).
Maus is a haunting tale within a tale. Vladek's harrowing story of survival is woven into the author's account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits. This astonishing retelling of our century's grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. Maus studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us. Source: Goodreads.
Synopsis

He weaves his relationship with his father into the fabric of the tragic tale, demonstrating the cascading effects of trauma through exploring his father’s experiences surviving the Holocaust and Art’s own experiences growing up with his father. The tragic story, which won the Pulitzer Prize in 1992, has received vast attention for its impactful portrayal of one of the most horrendous events in world history.
