About This Item
New York: Doubleday, 2017. First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Richly illustrated with Sendak's work. Author Jonathan Cott was widely praised for this indepth examination of the life and work of Maurice Sendak. Cott himself not only examines Sendak's inspirations and inner workings, but he also brings forth perspectives from a Freudian analyst, a Jungian analyst, an art historian, and Sendak's great friend, playwright Tony Kushner. Cott is a contributing editor of Rolling Stone and contributes to the New Yorker and the New York Times, in addition to authoring his previous 18 books. Sendak's enchanting illustrations are showcased throughout. This work would make an impressive gift - it just drips "expensive" - for any fan of Sendak's.
