Maus is an interesting case because it is not very often that a graphic novel is awarded a Pulitzer Prize Special Award, but that is exactly what Mr. Spiegelman received in 1992 for his works(Volume I: "My Father Bleeds History" published in 1986 and Volume II: "And Here My Troubles Began" published in 1991).Petehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05657139546321019909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2694317810815529670.post-1136857271323554012010-08-21T04:10:03.446-07:002010-08-21T04:10:03.446-07:00One of the best, most sophisticated and thought-pr...One of the best, most sophisticated and thought-provoking graphic is Persepolis by Satrapi. It is her journey into Muslim extremism under Khomeni. When kids in my library move past Bone, they read American Born Chinese, (also very good) and then to Persepolis. The graphic "Genre" beckons them to greater depth. I have not yet recommended Maus to anyone yet.<br />Karen (KVLA)the librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10187108542674679923noreply@blogger.com
