Looking for something more graphic?
June 8, 2011 in Uncategorized
No, we’re not talking Mills & Boon bodice rippers. Rather, a group of us are holding a graphic novel reading group on Wed 22 June and we’d love you to join us – whether you’re a graphic novel aficionado or plain curious.
We’re reading the Pulitzer prize winning Maus by Art Spiegelman, which is the story of the author listening to his father talk about his capture and escape from the Auschwitz concentration camp. A simplistic metaphor (Jews are mice, nazis are cats and so on) masks a deeply moving, warm hearted and even at times witty, family saga.
Our first meeting will be in a pub in central London, and if we have enough fun we’ll do it again. If you’re interested, grab a copy of The Complete MAUS
