MAUS: A SURVIVOR'S TALE TP
by Art Spiegelman
It is 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. 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.
