Abstract

This article develops a comparative analysis of the works, O que os cegos estão sonhando?, by Noemi Jaffe, and Maus, by Art Spiegelman. The critical examination discusses some similarities in the process of how authorship is constructed in these two books.  Particularly, the essay discusses the self-representation of the children of Nazi concentration camps survivors, and the manner in which second generation narratives take the form of an oblique witness, which constitute, at the same time prolongation and rupture with the testimonies of surviving parents.
