Description:
The first collection of critical essays on Maus, the searing account of one Holocaust survivor's experiences rendered in comic book form.
Review Quotes:
"Highlights include a discussion of Steven Spielberg's An American Tail (1986), an animated film that borrowed Spiegelman's cat and mouse Jew/Jew-hater motif, and
Michael Rothberg's strong discussion of the problems of turning the Maus theme into a commodity, 'dangers that the artist recognizes in mass-marketing death, ' and the Holocaust's resistance to representation. . . . Recommended."--Choice
