Original Music Inspired by Art Spiegelman’s “Maus”: Artists Respond to the Timeless Graphic Memoir
Town Hall is proud to partner with The Bushwick Book Club Seattle presenting concerts of original music inspired by literature. Each event showcases a lineup of local, professional musicians and artists each offering a fresh response to that evening’s source text, plus extras like an audience quiz, short film, or scholarly introduction. Book choices range from whimsical to solemn, classic to contemporary, and most every place in between.
Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus has resonated with readers for years as a powerful graphic memoir of the Holocaust. Told through a son’s retelling of his father’s harrowing experiences, Maus captures raw emotion and historical depth in every panel—so much so that the Tennessee School Board removed it from shelves in 2022.
Heads up: an unflinching chronicle of the Holocaust, Maus features Nazi imagery, antisemitism, and the accompanying horrors of genocide.
