In honor of Maurice Sendak’s death this morning we’re re-publishing this post from January. R.I.P., Maurice.
If you missed The Colbert Report this week you didn’t see Stephen’s hilarious two-part interview with legendary children’s book author Maurice Sendak.
Sendak is a curmudgeon of nearly Slavoj Žižek-ian proportions, which made his sit-down with Colbert so perfect.

I think my favorite part is when Colbert asks Sendak what it takes to be a famous children’s book author and he tells him that he already got a good start by being an idiot.
