Description
Published to coincide with Spike Jonze’s film adaptation of Maurice Sendak’s beloved Where the Wild Things Are, Dave Eggers’ The Wild Things expands the familiar children’s story into a full-length novel while preserving the emotional core of Sendak’s original masterpiece. Rather than simply retelling the classic, Eggers explores Max’s imagination, loneliness, and transformation with the literary voice that made him one of the defining American writers of his generation.
Issued by McSweeney’s Books, the project reflects the publisher’s reputation for inventive bookmaking and unconventional design. Founded by Eggers in San Francisco, McSweeney’s has become one of the most influential independent literary presses of the past three decades, producing books celebrated as much for their physical craftsmanship as their contents. The fur-covered edition has become one of McSweeney’s most memorable productions, while the signed slipcased edition offers an increasingly desirable collectible for fans of Eggers, Sendak, Spike Jonze, and modern book design.
Whether you’re building a McSweeney’s collection, collecting Dave Eggers’ signed works, or simply appreciate beautifully designed books, this is a wonderful opportunity to own two of the most distinctive editions of The Wild Things together.
