Spiegelman maintains, in other words, that the Holocaust was not an aberration, but an inevitable consequence of modernisation. In service of this argument, Smith offers a reading of Spiegelman’s comics, with a particular focus on his three main collections: \u003ci\u003eBreakdowns \u003c\/i\u003e(1977 and 2008)\u003ci\u003e, Maus \u003c\/i\u003e(1980 and 1991), and \u003ci\u003eIn the Shadow of No Towers \u003c\/i\u003e(2004)\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e He draws upon a taxonomy of terms from comic book scholarship, attempts to theorize madness (including literary portrayals of trauma), and critical works on Holocaust literature. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45394932236367,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":2590.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.tw\/en\/products\/9780815386476","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Taiwan","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
