Description Of Manifestation
Maus is a powerful memoir about Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and about his son, a cartoonist who tries to come to terms with his father, his story, and History. Moving from the gates of Auschwitz to the sidewalks of Queens, this is the ultimate survivor's tale --and that, too, of the children who somehow survive even the survivors. The Jews are portrayed as mice, the Nazis as cats, but put aside all your preconceptions. This is a new kind of literature. --Back cover
