Details: Short description "Whoever does not want to remain silent about what he cannot speak of must show it by drawing it." Die Welt In the past ten years, three global upheavals have occurred that demand new insights from the world: 9/11, the financial crisis, Fukushima. Art Spiegelman made the first of these three upheavals palpable by confronting the catastrophe, which affected him directly, with artistic means: On the day the planes struck the Twin Towers, he rushed through a panicked city to pick up his nine-year-old son from the UN school, which he feared would be another target. In a years-long struggle for his inner balance, Art Spiegelman captured the horror of that day in panels and speech bubbles, which came together to form an unparalleled graphic novel. It took an extraordinary mind and an extraordinary talent to make 9/11 comprehensible in this way: In the Shadow of No Towers is a solitaire both in its aesthetic quality and in its social relevance. About the Author and Other Contributors Art Spiegelman, born in Stockholm in 1948, is the world's most renowned graphic novel artist. He received the Pulitzer Prize for Maus: A Survivor's Tale, establishing the graphic novel medium as an internationally recognized art form. His autobiography Breakdowns was his most recent publication. Art Spiegelman lives with his family in New York.
