In Maurice Sendak’s studio, a tantalising glimpse of his unpublished manuscript

November 24, 2017 By achuka Leave a Comment

Andrew Purcell visits Maurice Sendak’s home:

In the studio, Sendak’s red cashmere cardigan is draped over his chair. His slippers are under the desk. Typed pages of an unfinished story about a stolen nose are arranged next to the Caran d’Ache pencils and cheap Pelikan Gouache paints he used his whole career. There are dozens of Mickey Mouses (Mickey Mice?) and a few scattered Wild Things, frozen in motion and monstrously alive.

Maurice Sendak's red cardigan still hangs over his chair.
