goodnight, mr. sendak

If this is the world, and in this world Maurice Sendak isn't immortal, then I don't know what. It's a rip off. 

"Childhood is a tricky business," Sendak said. "Usually, something goes wrong."  

"I have been with them in their bedroom, for a good part of their childhood," he said. "They have written to me. They trust me in a way, I daresay, possibly more than they trust their parents. I'm not going to bullshit them. I'm just not. And if they don't like what they hear, that's tough bananas."

“Dear Mr. Sendak, How much does it cost to get to where the wild things are? If it is not expensive, my sister and I would like to spend the summer there.”

We love you so.
