For Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of "Maus,"
the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 were both highly
personal and intensely political. "In the Shadow of No Towers," his
first new book of comics since the groundbreaking "Maus," is a
masterful and moving account of the events and aftermath of that
tragic day.
Spiegelman and his family bore witness to the attacks in their
lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started
school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived
in the area for years. But the horrors they survived that morning
were only the beginning for Spiegelman, as his anguish was quickly
displaced by fury at the U.S. government, which shamelessly
co-opted the events for its own preconceived agenda.
He responded in the way he knows best. In an oversized,
two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest
newspaper comics (which Spiegelman says brought him solace after
the attacks), he relates his experience of the national tragedy in
drawings and text that convey--with his singular artistry and his
characteristic provocation, outrage, and wit--the unfathomable
enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it
had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that
have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and
that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American
democracy.
