    “There is something so thrilling about listening to an author speak, especially someone like Maurice Sendak who has been a part of the lives of so many people since they were sentient beings.”

    “If you’ve never heard this you are in for a treat. Sendak is one of my favorite authors of all time. Of course Terry is a legend. And together they just dive right in to childhood, aging and dying, the meaning of art and life. And he’s so funny. I’ve listened to this one quite a few times.”
