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.
