Maurice Sendak (1928-2012) stands out as one of the most respected,
influential authors of the twentieth century. Though primarily
known as a children's book writer and illustrator, he did not limit
himself to these areas. He saw himself first and foremost as an
artist. In this collection of interviews, Sendak presents himself
as a writer, illustrator, set designer, and librettist. From his
early work with Randall Jarrell and Ruth Krauss through his later
work with Tony Kushner and Spike Jonze, Sendak worked as a
collaborator with a passion for the arts. The interviews here, many
of which are hard to find or previously unpublished, span from 1966
through 2011. They show not only Sendak's shifting artistic
interests, but also changes in how he understood himself and his
craft. What emerges is a portrait of an author and an artist who
was alternately solemn and playful, congenial and irascible,
sophisticated and populist. The man who showed millions of children
and adults alike what's cooking in the night kitchen and where the
wild things are, Sendak remains an American original who redefined
the picture book and changed children's literature-and its
readers-forever.
