  Artist and author Maurice Sendak was able to achieve significant and enduring success in art and children's literature during his lifetime. But what secrets did he had to keep from his family, publishers, parents, librarians, and readers as a gay, Jewish man negotiating the field of children's literature?   Sendak wrote and illustrated books that nurtured children and adults alike. Winner of the 1964 Caldecott Medal for Where the Wild Things Are, in 1970 Sendak became the first American illustrator to receive the international Hans Christian Anderson Award, given in recognition of his entire body of work. Sendak's work has been the subject of several extensive retrospective art shows at prestigious museums across the country. Sendak lived in Ridgefield, Connecticut with his partner Dr. Eugene Glynn for over 50 years.   In this episode, my guest is Dr. Golan Moskowitz, author of Wild Visionary, Maurice Sendak in Queer Jewish Context, published by Stanford University Press in 2021.

Golan is currently working on a cultural history of Jewish American involvement in the art of drag.   To contact Dr. Mostowitz, please see below: His faculty page: americanjewishexperience.org/gc-scholar/golan-moskowitz/   For speaking inquiries, please contact Tulane University's Jewish Studies Department: jewishstudies@tulane.edu   The Maurice Sendak Foundation: https://www.sendakfoundation.org/   Connecticut Landmarks LGBTQ+ Archives The archival collections of East Haddam's Palmer-Warner House include the diaries and letters of previous residents Frederic Palmer and his partner Howard Metzger.
