Among the revelations in this brilliant interview of Maurice Sendak by Stephen Colbert:

  • Sendak thinks that Newt Gingrich is a “hopelessly gross and vile.”

  • The “wild rumpus” in “Where the Wild Things Are” is a reference to sex.

  • Maurice Sendak is gay (really? I had no idea)

  • Maurice Sendak is unfamiliar with common slang for penises

  • Sendak would never do a sequel to “Where the Wild Things Are”

  • Sendak is an adorably cantankerous old man.
