I used "In the Shadow" as a segment in a group project for an undergrad presentation on "Maus" to further understand and psycho analyze Spiegelman's mental conflict. While short, the art is dense and the possibilities for analyzation are endless...leaving you with a worthwhile experience. Anyone who is a fan of Spiegelman's work, or anyone who wants to see how Spiegelman uses an event that is ...

The Complete Maus: A Survivor's Tale

Masterpiece!
As a Jew Living in Israel, holocaust related books are important to read, but it's hard to do it actually. I can remember several holocaust-era semi-biographic novels which are great but those are the exceptions. Most of the books are a bit bothersome though true. Maus just captured me.I consider it one of the best books I've ever read in my life. It was just breath-taking, adding to that the ...

Red Cat - Peter Spiegelman

Little Lit: Folklore and Fairy Tale Funnies

A Smorgasbord of Fun.....
Where have all the old fashioned comics and comic books gone? You know, the ones with humorous and entertaining story lines, and busy, splashy pictures that kids would pore over, mesmerized, for hours. They seem to have all but disappeared. Fortunately, Art Spiegelman and Francoise Mouly have remedied this situation with their marvelously creative book, Little Lit. They've collected folklore, ...

The Wild Party: The Lost Classic by Joseph Moncure March

18 reviews

Pantheon Books, 1994

Excellent!
I decided to buy this book for no other reason than that I loved the 1949 Robert Wise film, "The Set-up", and wanted to check out the other book written by the original story's author, Joseph Moncure March. Certainly the brief description of the book made it even easier to buy. But now having read it in one sitting, I was blown away at how brilliant it was! The poetic style is very easy to get ...

Glad I Read TIME Magazine
I recently picked up a copy TIME Magazine and read the article on 5 mystery books/authors that you shouldn't miss. Usually I'm skeptical of professional reviews, but I'm happy to say that this one was spot on as far as Death's Little Helpers, by Peter Spiegelman, is concerned. The story and writing are of the highest quality and the characters are so compelling. I urge all fans of mystery and ...

Maus II: A Survivor's Tale: And Here My Troubles Began (Maus)

Painting in order to Avoid Self-Portraits
At first glance, Maus might seem like yet another attempt to spin the genocide of the Jewish people into something demeaning. I have seen people turn and walk away from the selection because of that, and when I suggested this as required reading in a class it was initially met with hostile responses. Looking into the reading changed the way people saw the thing being constructed here, however, ...

Why is Everyone Smiling? The Secret Behind Passion, Productivity, and Profit

Celebrating the "joy" of organizational excellence
As I began to share Paul Spiegelman's thoughts about "the secret behind passion, productivity, and profit," I realized that there really isn't a "secret" to be revealed. Rather, the challenge is to assemble and then - key point - retain those people who are so excited about being part of a given organization that they eagerly and cheerfully go what Napoleon Hill once characterized as "the extra ...

People with Allergies Will Love This Dog
This is a pet dog that doesn't make you sneeze or itch. It doesn't shed or have fleas. Best of all, it doesn't bite or do its business on the carpet. Parents can gladly get this pet for children. Of course, this book would never take the place of a real thing, but it's a pleasure to read it. I can read it repeatedly (as children always want you to do) and not get tired of it. A parent can't help ...
