Maus. If you are unfamiliar, it's considered the first comic novel. It's by Art Spiegelman and is about the Holocaust. It has been banned in many countries, has been burned, hated, misunderstood, and of course it's written by one of those clever Jews. cnn.com/2022/01/27/us/tennes…

Tennessee just pulled it. Shocked anyone might want to read about what according to many never happened at all? And not just to 6 million Jews but 11 million total lives including elderly, disabled, orphans, sickly, Catholic priests, LGBQT+, Anarchists, Romani, so many others.

Maus. It is the only Pulitzer Prize winning comic novel for literature in history. That's right: A Pulitzer prize for a work so relevant if you haven't read it now you may never get a chance lest it be banned, banished or buried in its Maus Grave forever.

I cant's say I have, I tend more towards the documentary than dramatisation most of the time

I tend toward both myself. Jerzy kosinski's first book of 42 the Painted bird is a brutal story based on his personal experiences. he's a great writer famous for the book and movie being there as well as acting he played in Reds with Warren Beatty for example.

Very loosely based on Kosinski's experience (actually much more similar to the experience of his friend Roman Polanski). The truth is he made most of it up and didn't even write the book himself. Hear all about the strange story of Mr. Jerzy Kosinski @PenknifePodcast

Shakespearean! My life story is also loosely based on myself. I guess all his other books must be as well.
