Summary

Description

VISUALLY AND EMOTIONALLY RICH, 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 modern classic that has altered how we see literature, comics, and the Holocaust ever since it was first published twenty-five years 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. METAMAUS includes a bonus DVD that provides a digitized reference copy of THE COMPLETE MAUS linked to a deep archive of audio interviews with his survivor father, historical documents, and a wealth of Spiegelman's private notebooks and sketches. Compelling and intimate, METAMAUS is poised to become a classic in its own right.
