*Maus Now : Selected Writing, edited by Hillary Chute (onsale 11/15/22)*



Pulitzer Prize-winning author Art Spiegelman is one of our most influential
contemporary artists; it is hard to overstate his effect on postwar
American culture. *Maus* has shaped the fields of literature, history, and
art, and enlivened our collective sense of possibilities for expression.

*Maus Now: Selected Writing* collects responses to the work that confirm
its unique and terrain-shifting status. Here, writers such as Philip
Pullman, Robert Storr, Ruth Franklin, and others approach *Maus* from a
wide range of viewpoints and traditions, inspired by the material’s
complexity. The book is organized into three loosely chronological
sections: “Contexts,” “Problems of Representation,” and “Legacy,” and
offers translations of important French, Hebrew, and German essays on *Maus*
 for the first time.

*    Maus* is revelatory, and generative, in profound and long-lasting
ways. With this collection, American literary scholar (and expert on comics
and graphic narratives) Hillary Chute assembles the best work around the
globe exploring this classic graphic biography.

·        *SALES:* After the recent banning of *Maus* in TN, interest in and
sales for Art Spiegelman's work have skyrocketed.

·        *BEST OF:* *Maus Now* gathers together the best writing on *Maus* and
provides translations of essays from German, French and Hebrew for the very
first time.

·        *LITTLE-SEEN IMAGERY:* In addition to polished images from *Maus*
*,* this collection will feature original sketches and early comics and
images from *RAW*.





*HILLARY CHUTE* is an American literary scholar and an expert on comics and
graphic narratives. She is Distinguished Professor of English and Art +
Design at Northeastern University and the author or editor of seven titles
on comics, including, most recently, her book, *Why Comics? From
Underground to Everywhere*. She is a comics and graphic novels columnist
for *The New York Times Book Review.*
