# Maus Now: Selected Writing - Hardcover

by **Hillary Chute** (Editor)

**Richly illustrated with images from Art Spiegelman's _Maus_ ("the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust" --_The Wall Street Journal_), _Maus Now_ includes work from twenty-one leading critics, authors, and academics--including Philip Pullman, Robert Storr, Ruth Franklin, and Adam Gopnik--on the radical achievement and innovation of _Maus,_ more than forty years since the original publication of "the first masterpiece in comic book history" (_The New Yorker_).**

Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman is one of our most influential contemporary artists; it's hard to overstate his effect on postwar American culture. _Maus_ shaped the fields of literature, history, and art, and has enlivened our collective sense of possibilities for expression. A timeless work in more ways than one, _Maus_ has also often been at the center of debates, as its recent ban by the McMinn County, Tennessee, school board from the district's English language-arts curriculum demonstrates.  
_  
Maus Now: Selected Writing_ collects responses to Spiegelman's monumental work that confirm its unique and terrain-shifting status. The writers approach _Maus_ from a wide range of viewpoints and traditions, inspired by the material's complexity across four decades, from 1985 to 2018. The book is organized into three loosely chronological sections-- "Contexts," "Problems of Representation," and "Legacy"--and offers for the first time translations of important French, Hebrew, and German essays on _Maus._  
_Maus_ is revelatory and generative in profound and long-lasting ways. With this collection, American literary scholar Hillary Chute, an expert on comics and graphic narratives, assembles the world's best writing on this classic work of graphic testimony.
