The writer and cartoonist talks about his most enduring work, the first graphic novel to win the Pulitzer Prize, MAUS.

Maus depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Polish Jew and Holocaust survivor but the novel renders Jews as mice and other Germans and Poles as cats and pigs.

In this interview, Spiegelman talks about becoming obsessed with graphic novels as a child and of his relationship with his father as well as the idea to write MAUS.
