Maus - First GN to read
The reading list of the primary course texts will follow the order on the course outline. Maus by Art Spiegelman is thus first, and we will be working with that text starting next week. A useful webpage on Spiegelman from the American state radio network, NPR, is here. It includes audio clips of Spiegelman's recordings of the interviews with his father, depicted in the comic.
"It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts." Sherlock Holmes. "....This is all a way of saying that Ogden is going to twist my theories to fit his facts."Clint Burnham.
