Maus Now By Hillary L. Chute

It is hard to overstate Art Spiegelman’s effect on postwar American culture. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author is one of our most influential contemporary artists, and his masterpiece Maus has shaped the fields of literature, history and art. Collecting responses to the work that confirm its unique and terrain-shifting status, ‘Maus Now’ is a collection of essays that sees writers such as Philip Pullman, Robert Storr, Ruth Franklin and others approaching the complexity of Maus from a wide range of viewpoints and traditions.
