that's a narrative!! that's a real story. god
an excellent continuation of the original. i really liked the chapter where you zoom out to see spiegelman sitting on top of a pile of mouse bodies and being questioned by interviewers. the rest of the chapters... seeing one man survive by his skills intelligence and luck and then cutting to how he dies is...sobering? somewhat inspiring? tragic? it definitely feels different to other holocaust narratives i've seen. stories must be told even if there is no just ending
