520 _aPublished on the 25th anniversary of Art Spiegelman’s acclaimed graphic novel, Maus, MetaMaus (2011) is an intermedial work consisting of interviews and various archival materials on the making of Maus, which is itself a reconstruction of the artist’s father’s oral testimony on his survival in Auschwitz, but also relates his own trauma, as a child of survivors. This article means to discuss the way in which the materiality of the book questions its own status as an object and a medium as well as the alternative readings it entails. Drawing on Jacques Derrida’s theorization of the supplement, in De la grammatologie, we strive to look at the way in which the book, through its very hybridity and heterogeneity, tries to fill a void, an absence, that paradoxically enables the author to reconstruct his own legacy of history and trauma.
