Poles as Pigs
In "Some Lessons of Maus" I mentioned Art Spiegelman's typology which cast his characters as animals according to their ethnicity. Below are links to three articles which take up Spiegelman's decision to cast Poles as pigs.
- Danusha Goska. "Maus." Bieganski the Blog. September 6, 2010.
- Linda Kornasky. "Writer Spiegelman no stranger to controversy." San Angelo Standard Times. February 16, 2011.
- Danusha Goska. "You ARE a Pig." Bieganski the Blog. August 14, 2011.
