Very belatedly got around to seeing _Where the Wild Things Are_ (2009). Casting James Gandolfini as a Wild Thing, and having Karen O (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs fame) do the soundtrack were inspired artistic choices. Listening to her soundtrack album rn, it’s an achievement in its own right.

Today in Writing History June 10, 1928: Maurice Sendak, author of “Where the Wild Things Are,” was born in Brooklyn, New York. A little boy once sent him a card with a drawing on it. Sendak was so moved he sent the boy another letter with his own personal “Wild Thing” drawn on it. The boy’s mother sent Sendak a thank you note saying that her son loved the card so much he ate it. Sendak considered that one of the highest compliments he ever received. His book, “In the Night Kitchen,” is one of the most censored children’s books in the U.S., supposedly because of its depiction of a naked child. Sendak was an atheist Jew who lost numerous family members in the Holocaust. However, he was quoted as saying, "My gods are Herman Melville, Emily Dickinson, Mozart. I believe in them with all my heart." He was also gay and lived with his partner for 50 years. Sendak died May 12, 2012, at the age of 83.

“ . . . from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustrations as best they can. And it is through fantasy that children achieve catharsis. It is the best means they have for taming Wild Things.” —Maurice Sendak
