Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began by Art Spiegelman

5.0

A raw memoir about a father and a son documenting the father's memories from his time during the Holocaust. A real relationship punctuated by a heavy history of trauma.

The artist's decision to draw characters like animals is a unique choice. Not only does the reader become more sympathetic to the characters and receptive to the lesson like a fable, it also serves as a plot device signaling what actions a character may make.
