Maus: A Survivor's Tale. My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman

4.0

This was a very powerful piece and I will definitely read volume two. A concept of the graphic novel that I was contemplating throughout reading was whether or not it was a good choice to have the mouse/cat concept. While it’s definitely an interesting take, it did almost make me forget that at times the genuine horror of the story as my mind thought “well they’re just mice.” I’d be concerned about the possibility of Holocaust deniers looking at this as a work of fiction due to the mouse concept. This might be me overthinking though. I’m curious to discover what made Art Spiegelman make this choice. Overall, a very interesting and powerful novel that I would recommend.
