Twenty-Five Years After 9/11, Art Spiegelman Revisits His Collapse — and Takes Aim at Trump
A new edition of the Maus author's 2006 book on the September 11 attacks includes fresh reflections written under Donald Trump's second term.
Art Spiegelman, the author of Maus and a direct witness to the September 11, 2001 attacks, has a new edition out of his 2006 book A l'ombre des tours mortes (In the Shadow of No Towers), according to Bibliobs, the books section of Le Nouvel Obs. The book traced his inner breakdown after watching the World Trade Center fall near his home in Lower Manhattan.
In the new edition, Spiegelman revisits that trauma from the vantage of Donald Trump's second term. Bibliobs, which says it is reproducing the text with the author's permission, quotes him describing the American president in blunt terms.
Trump est une tour toxique vacillante faite de malhonnêteté rance et de pure stupidité.

No further detail on the new edition — its publisher, its added content beyond Spiegelman's reflections, or its release date in French bookstores — is given in the material available.
