“Maus” by Art Spiegelman will be discussed. The graphic novel has been called a memoir, biography, history, fiction, autobiography, or a mix of genres. It depicts Spiegelman interviewing his father about his experiences as a Holocaust survivor, and in 1992 it won the Pulitzer Prize. “Maus” was serialized from 1980 to 1991 and published by Pantheon Books in 1991. It was one of the first graphic novels to receive significant academic attention in the English-speaking world. “Eclectic” indeed reflects our reading choices and “Maus” is our first graphic novel. Join us for a brown bag lunch at 11:30, followed by our usual lively discussion of the book.

“Children of Heaven,” a 1999 movie from Iran (subtitled, of course) will be viewed. Roger Ebert’s review says that the movie is “very nearly a perfect movie for children, and of course that means adults will like it, too. It lacks the cynicism and smart mouth attitudes of so much American entertainment for kids and glows with a kind of good-hearted purity. To see this movie is to be reminded of a time when the children in movies were children and not miniature stand-up comics.”

What is Unitarian Universalism?
We create spirituality and community beyond boundaries, working for more justice and more love in our own lives and in the world.
Unitarian Universalism affirms and promotes seven Principles, grounded in the humanistic teachings of the world's religions. Our spirituality is unbounded, drawing from scripture and science, nature and philosophy, personal experience and ancient tradition. More about Unitarian Universalism.
