***NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER***
Visually and emotionally wealthy, MetaMaus is as groundbreaking as the masterpiece whose creation it reveals.
In the pages of MetaMaus, Art Spiegelman re-enters the Pulitzer prize–winning Maus, the up to date classic that has altered how we see literature, comics, and the Holocaust ever since it was once first published twenty-five years ago.
He probes the questions that Maus most continuously evokes—Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics?—and gives us a new and crucial work concerning the creative process.
MetaMaus features a bonus DVD-R that gives a digitized reference copy of The Complete Maus linked to a deep archive of audio interviews together with his survivor father, historical documents, and a wealth of Spiegelman’s private notebooks and sketches.
Compelling and intimate, MetaMaus is poised to grow to be a classic in its own right.
