Maus: The First Act

December 30, 2016 by bonnie Leave a Comment

I’d heard of the Maus graphic novels several years ago and read the first volume in a gallop. So I decided, after being gifted both volumes from my sister a few birthdays back, that it was time to read both volumes this year. I was not prepared for the sobering similarities between 1930s Nazi-occupied Poland and 2016 America, but that’s what makes art so crucial in general, and stories like Vladek Spiegelman’s in particular. Read my full review to find out what’s so important. Better yet, read the book and then you can see for yourself!
