Description
This person died in 2012, age 83. As he grew up – working class, Jewish, gay — he felt shunted to the margins. His book’s characters were described as headstrong and sometimes obnoxious. In the second half of his career, he was renowned as a designer of theatrical sets. In 1963 he published the children’s picture book sensation “Where the Wild Things Are.” Today’s dead celebrity is Maurice Sendak.
