A closer look at the making of *Maus*

Art Spiegelman revisits *Maus* through the questions its form and subject raise: why represent the Holocaust through mice, and why tell the story as a comic? The book uses those questions to open up the creative process behind the work, making it both a companion to *Maus* and an exploration of how comics can address historical experience. Its subject is not only the creation of one book, but the choices involved in bringing a difficult history into a visual narrative.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in the creative process behind *Maus*.
  • Readers exploring comics as a form for engaging with Holocaust history.
  • Readers seeking a companion volume to *Maus*.

Book overview

NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER - Visually and emotionally rich, MetaMaus is as groundbreaking as the masterpiece whose creation it reveals - Featured in the documentary Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse

In the pages of MetaMaus, Art Spiegelman re-enters the Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus, the modern classic that has altered how we see literature, comics, and the Holocaust ever since it was first published decades ago.

He probes the questions that Maus most often evokes--Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics?--and gives us a new and essential work about the creative process.

Compelling and intimate, MetaMaus is poised to become a classic in its own right.
