Media Appearances of Maus, I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History:
Almost immediately following the release of Maus, an unlikely celebrity emerged into the world in the form of Art Spiegelman. The graphic novel turned just a simply good writer into a great one. Having written one of, if not the most influential memoirs about the Holocaust, it catapulted him to a Pulitzer prize, as well as international fame and recognition. Being offered to do interviews with many well-known newspapers and television networks, many of which I have provided links to in this posting or one of my previous blogs. After the completion of Maus, he had this statement to offer to The Observer; “I was unsure how to proceed. Could I follow it up with Maus II? The fact that so much terror and sadness and death was such a success sort of gave me the bends.”
Gopinath, Manu. (2012, November 5). About Art Spiegleman-Maus. Retrieved from http://artsmaus.blogspot.ca/2012/11/media-appearances.html. An article that delves into some of the early media appearances for Maus I. It goes through many of the key aspects that changed Art Spiegleman from simply a good writer to a great one. Also, it speaks to Spiegleman’s very interesting thoughts and feelings on religion.
