About the Book: Widely regarded as one of the greatest works of art and literature about the Holocaust, Maus is studied across colleges and universities globally. In MetaMAUS, Art Spiegelman revisits that groundbreaking graphic novel to explore the questions it so often raises — “Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics?” — and offers a unique inside look at its creation with previously unseen sketches, alternate drafts, family photos, diary entries, and interview transcripts with his father Vladek and himself. More than a companion volume, it stands as a landmark work for any fan of Maus.
