The Life and Work of Maus Cartoonist Art Speigelman with Philip Dolin and Jenifer Bardi

Art Spiegelman “helped establish comics as a formidable storytelling medium and artform.” His New York Times bestselling book Maus, based on his father’s experiences as a Jewish immigrant and Holocaust survivor, is the only graphic novel to win a Pulitzer Prize. Join Philip Dolin, co-director of the new PBS American Masters film Art Spiegelman: Disaster is My Muse, and Moment Deputy editor Jennifer Bardi, for a conversation about Spiegelman’s storied career as a cartoonist and editor; the evolution of Maus, how its success impacted him and the controversy that ensued after being banned in schools in TN; and how Spiegelman’s work “reflects his ardent defense of free speech,” even today.
