Maus Now: Selected Writing by Hillary Chute
informative
slow-paced
4.0
Collection of essays about Maus, some in translation.
Divided into 3 parts: Contexts, Problems of Representation, and Legacy.
I found it a fascinating work, although a slow read if you go straight through it.
My favorite essays were
Dorit Abusch, “The Holocaust in Comics?” from 1997 and 2021
Marianne Hirsch, “My Travels with Maus, 1992-2020”
Hans Kruschwitz, “Everything Depends on Images: Reflections on Language and Image in Spiegelman’s Maus” from 2018
If you can’t get enough of literary criticism, this book may be for you!
