"MAUS" by Art Spiegelman
Las Palmas Rooftop Bar, 99 Irrawaddy Rd, Level 33 Courtyard Marriott Singapore, Singapore 329568, Singapore, SGWeâll be discussing the book, *MAUS by Art Spiegelman, in November.
The first and only graphic novel to win the Pulitzer Prize, MAUS is a hauntingly powerful exploration of memory, trauma, and survivalâtold through the lens of a son trying to understand his fatherâs past.
Art Spiegelmanâs masterpiece recounts the harrowing story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitlerâs Europe, and the fraught relationship with his son, a cartoonist grappling with the weight of inherited history.
Through a daring visual metaphorâNazis as cats, Jews as miceâSpiegelman confronts the unspeakable with stark simplicity and emotional depth.
As father and son navigate the guilt and grief of survival, their everyday tensions unfold against the backdrop of one of historyâs darkest chapters.
The result is a layered narrative that examines not only the Holocaust, but the echoes it leaves in the lives of those who follow.
*Please read both Maus I: A Survivorâs Tale and Maus II, or just get The Complete MAUS for the discussion.
