I loved my Grandfather and I loved Vladek. He reminded me of my Grandfather, a little. This was real and I can't even explain how this affected me because it was the most emotional thing I've ever read.
This was an experience, not just a "read". This burrowed it's way deep into my heart.
Maus studies the bloody pawprints of history and tracks its meaning for all of us. This astonishing retelling of our century’s grisliest news is a story of survival, not only of Vladek but of the children who survive even the survivors. Against the backdrop of guilt brought by survival, they stage a normal life of small arguments and unhappy visits. Vladek’s harrowing story of survival is woven into the author’s account of his tortured relationship with his aging father. Its form, the cartoon (the Nazis are cats, the Jews mice), shocks us out of any lingering sense of familiarity and succeeds in “drawing us closer to the bleak heart of the Holocaust” (The New York Times). Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive. The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler’s Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father’s story.
