In the Shadow of No Towers Art Spiegelman Board Book Pantheon 2004 Hardback Vtg

Description: Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Maus, was not alone in considering the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 to be both personal and intensely political. In the Shadow of No Towers, his first book of comics since the groundbreaking Maus, was a masterful and moving account of the events and aftermath of that tragic day. Spiegelman and his family bore witness to the attacks in their lower Manhattan neighborhood: his teenage daughter had started school directly below the towers days earlier, and they had lived in the area for years. But the horrors they survived that morning were only the beginning for Spiegelman that continued for years. He responded the way he knows best: In an oversized, two-page-spread format that echoes the scale of the earliest newspaper comics (which Spiegelman says brought him solace after the attacks). Here, he relates his experience of the national tragedy in drawings and text that convey—with his singular artistry and his characteristic provocation, outrage, and wit—the unfathomable enormity of the event itself, the obvious and insidious effects it had on his life, and the extraordinary, often hidden changes that have been enacted in the name of post-9/11 national security and that have begun to undermine the very foundation of American democracy.Note: Please see the Seller's Notes about the condition above for all the details.Ships from a Smoke-Free Home.Shipping Note: We refuse to profit on your shipping, and we will include multiple options so you can select the mailing method that works best for you and costs you the least.
