This weeks Colbert Report aired a very comical, yet enlightening, interview with Maurice Sendak (the author of Where the Wild Things Are) that briefly touched on a few of the topics we have discussed in class. It is definitely worth checking out if you have 15 minutes to spare and want a good laugh!

Dr. Gillespie mentioned another interview with Sendak, which is much more serious, but just as relevant to the class. He has an interesting discussion regarding his own desires for having children (even though he is a gay man, which, as Colbert points out in his interview, makes it physically impossible to achieve) about 6:30 into the interview, which is one of the highlights of the interview.
