pickI was intrigued by this from the #Nonfiction2024 list, and hope to read the first volume when available. This sequel centres on the author‘s challenging interviews with his father and their complex relationship, intertwined with his father‘s grim narrative of survival and liberation from a series of Nazi death camps. I consider it non-fiction although it‘s often labelled as a graphic novel: creatively portraying people as various animals. #Maus
Riveted_Reader_Melissa Want to guess why it ends up on the banned booked list so often? 1mo
Singout @Riveted_Reader_Melissa Ostensibly because it has bad words and a picture of a naked mouse in it. But I can think of other reasons. I read a good story about how it was expunged from the library in Athens, Tennessee, and then somebody donated boxes of it to the library, and the kids distributed them everywhere. 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I heard the pictures of naked cartoon mice 🤷♀️. That‘s a great story from TN though 1mo
Riveted_Reader_Melissa I remember being a bit shocked, because from Tom and Jerry to Garfield, all cartoon mice are naked except maybe a bow tie 😂 1mo
