This is my brother’s Facebook header right now. The Captain America shield in the background is an old trash can lid, lovingly transformed lo these many years ago. With authentic battle damage!
Childhood was cool.

A nod to Kierkegaard and Walker Percy: existentialist tomfoolery, political satire, literary homage, word mongering, a year-round summer reading club, Dylanesque music bits, apocalyptic marianism, poetry, fiction, meta-porn, a prisoner work-release program.

Everybody’s been going on and on about how Sendak was brave enough to show children the real, horrible world. I understand what they’re praising. But there’s something to showing children the transcendent world, I think.
Possibly relevant: ‘Maurice Sendak: The Children’s Sublime’, by Eve Tushnet
Possible rejoinder.
