I recently read an
interview with Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis,
who stated that that Maus was one of her
favorite books and the inspiration to write "her story" in graphic form.
Since I have been enjoying nonfiction graphic novels, I have decided to give this
two volume set a shot. I appreciated this one, but definitely enjoyed the humor
and drawings of Satrapi's much more. I also have a major pet peeve about this
graphic novel. In the story summary it states that the Nazis are depicted as
cats and the Jews are mice. I dare
anyone to view the pictures of the Nazis and tell me they aren't pigs.
