METAMAUS: A LOOK INSIDE A MODERN CLASSIC, MAUS provides a rich masterpiece reviewing the classic that altered and emphasized the connections between literature, comics and the Holocaust. Any familiar with Maus must have Metamaus: it considers the origins and meaning behind Maus, offers new analysis and color comics, and includes a bonus DVD providing a digitalized reference copy of The Complete Maus linked to audio interviews with his survivor father, historical documents and Spiegelman's private sketches and notebooks. A 'must' examination of the modern phenomenon that is Maus!
