MausThe story of Vladek Spiegelman and his wife, living and surviving in Hitler's Europe. By addressing the horror of the Holocaust through cartoons, the author captures the everyday reality of fear and is able to explore the guilt, relief and extraordinary sensation of survival - and how the children of survivors are in their own way affected by the trials of their parents. A contemporary classic of immeasurable significance.

I wish I had known about the group earlier. We3 is one of my favourite books since I started reading again. What did people think?
ReplyDeleteIf only there were discussion notes for you to refer to....
ReplyDeleteEssentially people liked it but found it very busy, the people are ugly, and its gory as hell. It's got a lot more layers to it than you might initially expect and some of the storytelling devices employed (such as the use of panelling) are superb. That pretty much sums it up I think...
