Maurice Sendak's interview on "Fresh Air" Did anyone else hear this earlier this week? It was very good, and extremely emotional. Sendak sounds like a guy whose emotions run very, very deep. (If you're having trouble placing who Sendak is, he wrote this much-loved book, among others.)

I've only ever read Where the Wild Things Are. After listening to this I need to search out his other works.

I'm coming to this late. I'm so glad you posted this link so I could find the interview again.

I just listened and I am blown away. I can only hope to be a gracious, as kind, as 'soft,' as he put it, as he when I grow to be in my 80s.

I need to give him a hug and remind him how much I love his 'voice.'
