Art Spiegelman lecture on Maus

In this fascinating hour-long Seton Hall lecture, Art Spiegelman expounds on Maus, his Pulitzer-winning graphic novel history of the Holocaust, providing excellent companion material to Metamaus, the new book that recounts Maus's history, which came out last month.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

I just finished Maus after hearing about it here a while back, and seeing it in a store. It has to be one of the best books I’ve read, and certainly one of the most moving. I’m not sure I have the words for it.

Is there a date for this?

I saw him give a similar lecture a few years ago, at NAU.

At the end of the lecture, the camera pulls back & the podium has the sign Sacred Heart University instead of Setton Hall U.
