Maus, historia de un sobreviviente: Y aquí comenzaron mis problemas by Art Spiegelman

joshwrose's review against another edition

5.0

A raw memoir about a father and a son documenting the father's memories from his time during the Holocaust. A real relationship punctuated by a heavy history of trauma.

The artist's decision to draw characters like animals is a unique choice. Not only does the reader become more sympathetic to the characters and receptive to the lesson like a fable, it also serves as a plot device signaling what actions a character may make.

It continues with Maus I story, starting in Auschwitz. It's impossible to not feel sad after reading this as it gives a detailed view of what happened there. Good biography, a must read.

“Samuel Beckett once said, "Every word is like an unnecessary stain on silence and nothingness."
...On the other hand, he SAID it.”
