Ilustrado profusamente con imágenes del propio Maus («la obra narrativa más conmovedora y célebre jamás realizada sobre el Holocausto , The Wall Street Journal), Maus hoy presenta los documentos que veintiún críticos, autores y académicos prominentes -entre los que se incluyen Philip Pullman, Robert Storr, Ruth Franklin y Adam Gopnik- han escrito acerca del logro y la innovación radicales que supuso su publicación original hace más de cuarenta años, y que fue considerada por The New Yorker como «la primera obra maestra de la historia del cómic Art Spiegelman, dibujante galardonado con el Premio Pulitzer, es uno de los creadores más destacados de la era contemporánea, y su influencia en la cultura estadounidense de posguerra es insoslayable. Pese a haberse enfrentado a numerosos intentos de censura, Maus ha transformado los campos humanísticos de la literatura, la historia y el arte y, asimismo, ha reavivado las posibilidades de expresión colectivas. Maus hoy. Una selección de textos reúne observaciones diversas sobre la obra monumental de Spiegelman, que confirman su carácter único y revolucionario. En las casi cuatro décadas que separan 1985 de 2020, los autores han abordado Maus desde una amplia gama de perspectivas y tradiciones. Por ello, el libro está organizado en tres secciones («Contextos , «Problemas de representación y «Legado ), con un orden no estrictamente cronológico, y ofrece por primera vez traducciones de importantes ensayos sobre Maus escritos originalmente en francés, hebreo y alemán. Maus es una obra que, a su vez, es capaz de revelar y generar más ideas, y lo hace además de un modo profundo e imperecedero. Con esta recopilación, la investigadora literaria estadounidense Hillary Chute, experta en cómics y narrativas gráficas, nos presenta los mejores textos, seleccionados de todos los rincones del mundo, que versan sobre un libro que ya es un clásico de la memoria histórica dibujada. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Richly illustrated with images from Art Spiegelman's Maus (the most affecting and successful narrative ever done about the Holocaust --The Wall Street Journal), Maus Now includes work from twenty-one leading critics, authors, and academics--including Philip Pullman, Robert Storr, Ruth Franklin, and Adam Gopnik--on the radical achievement and innovation of Maus, more than forty years since the original publication of the first masterpiece in comic book history (The New Yorker). Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Art Spiegelman is one of our most influential contemporary artists; it's hard to overstate his effect on postwar American culture. Maus shaped the fields of literature, history, and art, and has enlivened our collective sense of possibilities for expression. A timeless work in more ways than one, Maus has also often been at the center of debates, as its recent ban by the McMinn County, Tennessee, school board from the district's English language-arts curriculum demonstrates. Maus Now: Selected Writing collects responses to Spiegelman's monumental work that confirm its unique and terrain-shifting status. The writers approach Maus from a wide range of viewpoints and traditions, inspired by the material's complexity across four decades, from 1985 to 2018. The book is organized into three loosely chronological sections-- Contexts, Problems of Representation, and Legacy--and offers for the first time translations of important French, Hebrew, and German essays on Maus. Maus is revelatory and generative in profound and long-lasting ways. With this collection, American literary scholar Hillary Chute, an expert on comics and graphic narratives, assembles the world's best writing on this classic work of graphic testimony.
