Maus is a comic book about the Holocaust—or, if you prefer, a “graphic novel” or “graphic memoir.” The shock is the same: Who would use a comic strip to document the Holocaust?

His use of this improbable genre as a vehicle for reconstructing an unspeakable nightmare created one of the truly memorable books of the late twentieth century. Maus: A Survivor’s Tale is startlingly original, singularly beautiful, and deeply moving.
