In the Shadow of No Towers (Pantheon)
Because Art Spiegelman lives within walking distance of the site
of the Twin Towers, his graphic novel about 9/11 captures the panicky
race to make sure his children are safe, that the world hasn't ended,
and, most of all, to ensure that his dread and paranoia don't dissipate
in easy ideas about "healing."
Intellectual, accessible, and provocative literary conversations.
