NATIONAL JEWISH BOOK AWARD WINNER

• Visually and emotionally rich, MetaMaus is as groundbreaking as the masterpiece whose creation it reveals
• Featured in the documentary Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse

In the pages of MetaMaus, Art Spiegelman re-enters the Pulitzer Prize–winning Maus, the modern classic that has altered how we see literature, comics, and the Holocaust ever since it was first published decades ago.

He probes the questions that Maus most often evokes—Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics?—and gives us a new and essential work about the creative process.

Compelling and intimate, MetaMaus is poised to become a classic in its own right.
