Pantheon Books is commemorating the 25th anniversary of Art Spiegelman's Maus with the release of MetaMaus, a behind-the-scenes exploration of the making of a masterpiece.

In the pages of MetaMaus, Art Spiegelman re-enters the Pulitzer prize–winning Maus, the modern classic that has altered how we see literature, comics, and the Holocaust ever since it was first published twenty-five years ago.
 
He probes the questions that Maus most often evokes—Why the Holocaust? Why mice? Why comics?—and gives us a new and essential work about the creative process.
 
MetaMaus includes a bonus DVD that provides a digitized reference copy of The Complete Maus linked to a deep archive of audio interviews with his survivor father, historical documents, and a wealth of Spiegelman’s private notebooks and sketches.

MetaMaus will be released on October 4, and is available for pre-order now. Check out this trailer, and let me know what you think!
