Art Spiegelman

In the Shadow of No Towers (Pantheon) Because Art Spiegelman lives within walking distance of the site of the Twin Towers, his graphic novel about 9/11 captures the panicky race to make sure his children are safe, that the world hasn't ended, and, most of all, to ensure that his dread and paranoia don't dissipate in easy ideas about "healing."
