The Spanish graphic artist Fidel Mart\u00ednez Nadal\u2019s (b. Seville, 1979) graphic novel Todesfuge<\/em> recounts the life of Paul Celan (1920\u20131970), one of the most eminent lyric poets of the twentieth century. The narrative interweaves biographical and literary aspects of Celan\u2019s life, including his Jewish identity, his lifelong trauma as a Holocaust survivor, and his acclaimed poem Todesfuge. Mart\u00ednez\u2019s expressive and somber illustrations visualize Celan\u2019s struggles with feelings of guilt, memory, and his creative efforts to find words for the unspeakable. An artistically brilliant homage to Paul Celan\u2019s oeuvre, Todesfuge is an impressive contribution to the engagement with the Shoah in the medium of the graphic novel pioneered by Art Spiegelman.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Spanish graphic artist Fidel Mart\u00ednez Nadal\u2019s (b.
