Readers who agree with Spiegelman's point of view will marvel at the brilliance of his images and the wit and accuracy of his commentary. In 10 large-scale pages of original, hard-hitting material (composed from Septemto August 31, 2003), two essays, and 10 old comic strip reproductions from the early 20th century, Spiegelman expresses his feelings of dislocation, grief, anxiety, and outrage over the horror of the attacks-and the subsequent 'hijacking' of the event by the Bush administration to serve what he believes is a misguided and immoral political agenda. As in his Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus, cartoonist Spiegelman presents a highly personalized, political, and confessional diary of his experience of September 11 and its aftermath. As in his Pulitze Catastrophic, world-altering events like the September 11 attacks on the United States place the millions of us who experience them on the 'fault line where world history and personal history collide.' Most of us, however, cannot document that intersection with the force, compression, and poignancy expressed in Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers.
