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

4.0

There is nothing to say but wow. The story is intense because of its intimacy. Spiegelman, of course, when he says that knowing of his father's life in all shades makes the story more personable. The history of his father is harrowing within itself, of course, but perhaps of even greater interest to me is the relationship between Art and his father as well as Art's father and his wives. I find the fallout that occurs between survivors and their families to be fascinating. The only problem I have with it is that I wish the story were even longer, particularly toward the end of this volume. I realize, however, that this is problematic with serialized comics. I am excited to read the second part.
