Two stars if read as a children's book (it's WAY too morbid and complex for picture-book), four if read as a poem. ( ) A beautiful send-off, this is Sendak's last written work, and an ode and farewell to his brother. An elegy that is so quaint, so beautiful, and so haunting, its written beautifully as a poem that most likely is best understood by one person - Jack; his brother, but thankfully we can all appreciate and understand some of it. I remember reading and re-reading and re-re-re-reading Where the Wild Things Are so many times as a child. Identifying so much with that small boy. And I remember Little Bear and the show and watching that nonstop as a child as well. Sendak was a treasure. And still is. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
"Fifty years after Where the Wild Things Are was published comes the last book Maurice Sendak completed before his death in May 2012, My Brother's Book. With influences from Shakespeare and William Blake, Sendak pays homage to his late brother, Jack, whom he credited for his passion for writing and drawing. Pairing Sendak's poignant poetry with his exquisite and dramatic artwork, this book redefines what mature readers expect from Maurice Sendak while continuing the lasting legacy he created over his long, illustrious career. Sendak's tribute to his brother is an expression of both grief and love and will resonate with his lifelong fans who may have read his children's books and will be ecstatic to discover something for them now. Pulitzer Prize-winning literary critic and Shakespearean scholar Stephen Greenblatt contributes a moving foreword--Amazon. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
