Wild Visionary reconsiders Maurice Sendak's life and work in the context of his experience as a Jewish gay man. Raising the stakes of children's books, Sendak painted childhood with the dark realism and wild imagination of his own sensitive "inner child," drawing on the queer and Yiddish sensibilities that shaped his singular voice.Interweaving literary biography and cultural history, Golan Y.
