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 - the first of its kind -
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unpublished, span from 1966 through 2011.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.
