In the heart-rending graphic novel 'In the Shadow of No Towers,' Art Spiegelman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of 'Maus,' captures his firsthand experience of the catastrophic events of September 11, 2001. Unable to confirm the safety of his daughter, who was at school near the World Trade Center, Spiegelman struggles through the horror and confusion. Once his family is reunited, the long shadow of the day's terror and its aftermath envelops him. Combining evocative imagery and piercing insights, he sheds light on the national trauma, laying bare his disillusionment with the political exploitation of the tragedy. The narrative unfolds through expansive, two-page spreads, echoing early giant-sized comics, enveloping the reader in Spiegelman's poignant reflections, dark humor, and biting critique of post-9/11 America. 'In the Shadow of No Towers' is a personal and political journey through one of America's darkest days, asserting the enduring power of comics as a medium of historical witness and social commentary.
