New Fuse 8 n’ Kate Episode: In the Night Kitchen by Maurice Sendak

July 17, 2017 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

InNightKitchenNew episode, new episode, new episode, alert, alert!

It’s been a little while but we’ve a new episode up and running.  I’m so pleased to say that my podcast Fuse 8 n’ Kate which I do with my sister went in a distinctly Sendakian direction.  We delve deep into the oddities of the book, some of the more peculiar theories that surround it, and also the many things people have said about it over the years. I may go off on a rant against librarian-bashing in the course of things.  Does this book deserved to be considered a “classic”? Find out!

If you feel the sound quality is a bit different, by the way, we had to rely on our back-up mic this time around. No worries. It was a one time deal.
