MetaMaus: A Look Inside a Modern Classic, Maus

Art Spiegelman

Pantheon Books

300 pages, $35

The Pulitzer Prize–winning Maus is a modern classic that has altered how we see literature, comics and the Holocaust ever since it was first published 25 years ago. In the pages of MetaMaus, Spiegelman re-enters Maus and probes the questions the book most often evokes: Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics? Visually and emotionally rich, MetaMaus is as groundbreaking as the masterpiece whose creation it reveals.
