Common Reading Program

The Common Reading Program Selection Committee is pleased to announce the choice for the campus-wide reading:

The Complete Maus, by Art Spiegelman

Each year Edgewood College chooses a Common Reading text for all freshmen to read and dissect together. The Complete Maus is a Pulitzer Prize winning memoir in the form of a graphic novel that tells the heart-wrenching story of Vladek Spiegelman’s experience of surviving the Holocaust. Through picture and text, author Art Spiegelman is able to draw the reader into the story in a very real and profound way.

The Selection Process:
All the nominations for the common reading were considered by the Common Reading Committee, which narrowed the extensive list to three titles. After narrowing down the list to our top three books, a brief description was sent to all students, staff and faculty to vote upon which was their favorite book. The book with the most votes was chosen as our text for this upcoming year.
