Maus

Art Spiegelman captures his father's experience during the holocaust, with an intriguing twist as Nazis are represented as Cats and Jews as Mice. Not only does it provide some relief to such a sensitive subject, the style and presentation becomes unique in a visual and narrative way. Thus, a similar type of conditioning may provide a visually unique way to envision a Grimm tale - similarly as animals or a condition that all characters are blind as a as a wacky example.

Overall, Maus makes for a good read providing a unique account of the holocaust, which I hope to finish reading soon enough.
