Maus
Has anyone else read this comic book, by Art Spiegelman?
My ex-girlf gave it to me, and its really really moving, I read the whole thing in like 2/3 hours but it really effected me, I mean, a lot of people have read survivor stories, I have read a lot of them, I guess maybe it was just the way Maus told its story, the present and the past entwined like that, and the simplicity and visuality of the presentation of it...
Anyway, I would definitely recomend it to anyone
(it is basically the story of the guy's father who survived Auschwitz, and in the story every race is represented as a different animal, the Jews are mice, the Germans are cats, the American's are dogs, the Poles are pigs...)
