Maus

Maus by Art Spiegelman

Fellow dyslexic here, when I started to read it was with graphic novels and short stories, first book I read through was maus

I recommend Maus by Art Spiegelman if you haven’t read it. That is as real as they get.

Some of the banter between the author and his Holocaust survivor father, Vladek, is just so on-the-nose about how trauma can scar one for life even with regards to the most mundane of activities, like one's relationship to food.

Yes, not only a harrowing recount of his father's time both surviving the holocaust and how it affected his and his sons life afterwards, but also a really effective look at propaganda, how it shapes our perspective on others, and its limitations. It absolutely made the best of its use as a graphic medium.

We all love them. Just a brilliantly made piece of literature

Really opened my eyes to be horrors as a kid in 5th grade.

Read Maus in high school. Super moving and enlightening graphic novel.

Speaking of graphic novels, Maus is a must read. This one is about concentration camps and will make you cry.
