Just days after the banning of “Maus” by a Tennessee school district made national news, two editions of Art Spiegelman’s Pulitzer Prize winning graphic novel about the Holocaust have reached the top 20 on Amazon.com and are in limited supply.
“Maus” was No. 12 on Amazon as of Friday evening, and was not available for delivery until mid-February. “The Complete Maus,” which includes a second volume, was No. 9 and out of stock.
Neither book was in the top 1,000 a week ago.
Earlier this month, the McMinn County School Board in Tennessee voted to remove “Maus” due to “inappropriate language” and an illustration of a nude woman, according to minutes from a board meeting.
Spiegelman’s autobiographical book, winner of a Pulitzer in 1992, tells of his father’s experiences as a Holocaust survivor.
Budget hearings start Feb. 8
The chairs of the House and Senate Ways and Means committees and Gov. Charlie Baker’s budget chief will gather at the State House on Feb. 8 to hold the first hearing on the governor’s $48.5 billion fiscal 2023 budget.
According to Ways and Means, Rep. Aaron Michlewitz and Sen. Michael Rodrigues will be joined by Administration and Finance Secretary Michael Heffernan in Room A-1 of the State House.
Unspecified “other invited participants” will be invited to testify remotely, Ways and Means announced Friday, and the hearing “will be broadcast live for committee members, the general public and the press on the legislature’s website.”
The State House remains closed to the public as the two-year anniversary of the pandemic approaches.
