In the Shadow of No Towers
Art Spiegelman is the only writer of comic books to ever win a Pulitzer Prize. He won it in 1992 for Maus, a graphic novel based on the Holocaust, from accounts Spiegelman's father, Vladek recounted to him. All the Jews are rats and all the Nazis are cats. Americans, well, as usual, are dogs.
In the Shadow of No Towers is Spiegelman's latest work, to be published in September. The main character is named Art Spiegelman, and is a "chain-smoking, unshaven, potbellied paranoid dressed in a cheerleader outfit" according to the Times.
