2 - Dave Eggers Remembers

Dave Eggers, author and the co-screenwriter of Where the Wild Things Are, a 2009 film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s most famous book, recounts his friendship and collaboration with the author-illustrator. Eggers discusses everything from his own childhood memories of Sendak’s books (In the Night Kitchen “freaked me out”) to how Sendak’s strange and subconscious—not pedagogical or moralistic—storytelling aligns with his own writing for all ages.
