Maurice Sendak
Like millions of others mourning the death of Maurice Sendak, I recall as some of my earliest memories the images from Wild Things and remember wanting to sail and caper with Max, to start the wild rumpus. Yet influencing me even more were In the Night Kitchen...
....and his illustrations for The Juniper Tree and other of the fairy tales collected by the Grimms...
I just want to be sure we recall these masterpieces as well, not let the brilliance of Wild Things overshadow everything else Sendak produced.Daniel A. Rabuzzi is author of the fantasy novel "The Choir Boats," available from ChiZine Publications in September 2009.
"The Choir Boats" explores issues of race, gender, sin, and salvation, and includes a mysterious letter, knuckledogs, carkodrillos, smilax root,
goat stew, and one very fierce golden cat.
