The Complete Maus

By Art Spiegelman

Spiegelman tells the story of his father’s survival during the Holocaust while also confronting their difficult relationship in the present. Told through the language of comics, Maus is intimate, formally inventive, and devastating without turning history into abstraction.

Why we carry it: Memory is fragile, and history becomes dangerous when reduced to statistics. This book makes both impossible to ignore.

Format: Hardcover.
