This article focuses on the book "Maus II. A Survivor's Tale," written by Art Spiegelman. It has taken Art Spiegelman thirteen years to complete this book, a memoir of his parents' survival of the Holocaust and his own journey from a barbarous childhood-years spent pinned beneath the hairy paw of his tyrannical father. Spiegelman's ruling conceit-drawing Jews as mice, Germans cats, Poles pigs, and Americans dogs, is an ample field for playing with perspective, for it immediately points up the variable sizes and shapes characters can assume.
