  Art Spiegelman's MAUS
Maus thus juxtaposes and intertwines past and present, the different subject histories of each protagonist, and the very different cultural contexts of Nazi occupied Poland and Rego Park, New York.
Spiegelman's Maus, in transmitting the story of the father through the son, does not avoid or gloss over any of the difficulties entailed in working-through trauma, which, as we know, always brings with it some degree of "acting-out".
Maus enacts the difficulty of working through a traumatic historical past that defies attempts at mastery, and is a visceral presentation of the postmodern fragmented self struggling to come to terms with this damaged and wounded history in a conscious manner.

 Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Maus
Maus is based on a series of interviews cartoonist Art Spiegelman (In the Shadow of No Towers) made with his father, Vladek Spiegelman, a survivor of Auschwitz, during the 1970s and '80s.
They tell a story that was heard over and over during the second half of the 20th century, by practically everyone living on this planet — but they tell it from the point of view of one who saw it, and was radically changed by it.
Maus isn't the story of a phenomenon of history — it's the story of a single man who witnessed unspeakable horror and felt unspeakable fear.

 Maus (EDV) - Wikipedia
Da die Maus recht spät Einzug in die privat und geschäftlich genutzten Computersysteme auf dem Schreibtisch gehalten hat (in größerem Umfang etwa in den späten 1980er Jahren für IBM-PC-kompatible Rechner), musste eine der vorhandenen Schnittstellen für den Anschluss dieses Gerätes gefunden werden.
Da die Maus aber ein einfaches und in der Datenübertragung langsames Gerät ist, das nur für Koordinateninformation und Status der Tasten Daten übermittelt und außerdem seinen Strom über die Schnittstelle erhalten konnte, war diese Schnittstelle eine recht langlebige Lösung, bei der die Maus obendrein problemlos auch im laufenden Betrieb angeschlossen werden kann.

 Art Spiegelman's Maus
Maus, on the other hand, was written with a view to publication, but also served a personal need for the author working through his own past and its intersection with historical events.
"The survivor in Maus I's subtitle is a reference to both Vladek, who survives Auschwitz and his wife's suicide, and Art, who, by surviving the trauma of his youth, his mother's death, and his relationship with the ‘maddeningly intransigent, stingy, and manipulative' Vladek.
Blume quotes Todd Gitlin that "Maus [is] the primary example of postmodernism still engaged with ethical concerns." That it is postmodern emerges both in its blending of genres and in elements of metafiction (or, since it is not fiction, meta-narrative).

 On Spiegelman's Maus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Now, he is in many respects much more interesting and complex than his father, because he takes on the task of trying to make some artistic sense of his own pain, the emotional scars he carries as a result of his family's experiences.
In calling attention to its own creation, Maus locates that origin in the emotional pain of the artist, Artie, who is driven, for reasons he does not fully understand, to come to terms with his family's past (his brother's death, this mother's suicide, his father's wartime experiences).
The artist's name and the dates which presumably refer to the writing of Maus, like a painter's signature at the bottom of a painting, are one last reminder that what we have been dealing with is a fiction, something made up.

 Maus - Art Spiegelman - Graphic novel review
Maus is one of the most famous of recent graphic novels.
Maus uses anthropomorphic characters, using different species of animal to represent the different characters' race or nationality - Jews are mice, Germans are cats, Americans are dogs and the Polish are pigs.
This doesn't always quite work, though Spiegleman is acutely aware of this as he struggles with whether or not to make his French wife, converted to Judaism before they got married, into a mouse or some other species.
