I just caught a glimpse of Spike Jonze's new documentary on Maurice Sendak. It's called
Tell Them Anything You Want, and from the looks of things, Sendak discusses the Ursula Nordstrom years and how he broke into the children's literature scene during its golden age. Here's a great article about the
"mere illustrator" who didn't think his private life was anybody's business. (Also, check out the corresponding NY Times article about Jonze's difficulties making the movie version of
Where the Wild Things Are.)
