Maus: A Survivor's Tale

Art Spiegelman’s groundbreaking, Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel, serialized by Penguin from 1992 onward, renders his father’s harrowing Holocaust survival story with Jews depicted as mice and Nazis as cats. Across its two issues, Spiegelman serves as both writer and artist, weaving a stark, intimate dual narrative of the past and the fraught present of his own storytelling. It remains a landmark work that redefined the memoir and the comic medium itself, proving the form’s capacity for profound historical and emotional weight.
