The Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus tells the story of Vladek Spiegelman, a Jewish survivor of Hitler's Europe, and his son, a cartoonist coming to terms with his father's story. Maus approaches the unspeakable through the diminutive.

Maus is a haunting...

La forma de este relato, un cómic (donde los nazis son gatos y los judíos, ratones), logra desposeernos de cualquier atisbo de cercanía que podamos tener con los hechos que aquí se refieren, y lo consigue precisamente porque...
