This is a coincidence. I just re-read Maus for perhaps the fourth or fifth time over many years, and finished it today with no knowledge of the Renaissance the book has been enjoying. I learned of MetaMaus only minutes after closing the novel this afternoon, on Wikipedia.

I'm eager to own this, of course.

Thank you, Mr. Spiegelman, for so much.

I might mention also my great admiration for In the Shadow of No Towers among other works of yours (I never missed an issue of RAW).

After reading through the comments here it's clear to me that everyone is entitled to their opinion for the most part, but this isn't exactly a book about spandex or how to cook bologna.

It's understandable that Mr. Spiegelman feels very uncomfortable talking about his father's life during the Holocaust. Why else would he write such a painfully poignant graphic novel if he was comfortable with the inhuman treatment of his family in WWII Germany and the scars left by that experience?

How beautiful. Sold.

It´s funny how in the beginning Mr. Spielgelman sounds a little bit like trying to justify why he put together this book, and of course, he shouldn´t! This book is necessary. It´s not something he´s making to get a few more pounds in his bank account.

But I will stick with the MAUS and not buy this one.

Best book I ever wrote a term paper on in college. I remember analyzing how the introduction to each chapter was based on a conversation with his father, that somehow connected to the themes of the holocaust story that followed. MetaMaus may be the first book I've bought in years.
