Art Spiegleman signings Breakdowns November 24, 2008

Containing a fascinating section on the genesis of Maus, Breakdowns was Art’s first book. It chronicles his own nervous breakdown, his experiments with psychedelic drugs, his mother's suicide and his incarceration in a mental hospital. It also includes vivid portraits of his artist friends, mentors, girlfriends and more generally the birth of underground comics in the 1960s. A fascinating – and occasionally shocking – insight.
