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.

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?
