$15.95Don’t let the animal drawings fool or deter you: this is one of the most powerful and unexpected works on the Nazi occupation of Poland you are ever likely to read. Spiegelman does a great job not only documenting his father’s experiences, but showing how they have shaped his behavior ever since, painting a picture of a deeply flawed and sensitive man who is also incredibly brave, and fortuitous in his ability to survive one of the great horrors of the 20th century. Difficult to read, and difficult to put down once you’ve started.

About the Author
Stephen Crane (1871-1900) was born in New Jersey and was the last of fourteen children. While The Red Badge of Courage is considered Crane's masterpiece, he is also known for another brilliant yet grim work of fiction, Maggie, A Girl of the Streets (1893), as well as his poetry and journalism. Crane moved to Europe in 1897 and died in Germany at the age of twenty-nine from tuberculosis.
