LECTURES
Lets Talk About It: Modern Marvels
Every other Tuesday through August the Highland Park Library hosts "Modern Marvels",
a series that will appeal to both comic book 
culturally curious. Focusing on graphic novels by Jewish artists,
tonight’s edition will spotlight "The Complete Maus: A Survivor’s Tale", a famous graphic novel by Art Spiegelman.
A moving and beautifully illustrated historic recount of the experiences of
the artists’ parents Vladek and Anna, who came of age in Europe on the
verge of Nazism, and their sad tale of survival in the concentration
camps. A serious story with a twinge of irony in it’s characters, Maus
depicts Jews as mice, Nazis as cats, Polish as pigs, and Frenchmen as
frogs. Tonight’s discussion will be moderated by Professor Judith Katz.
7pm, Highland Park Library, 1974 Ford Parkway, St. Paul, Free
