I avoid writing reviews for most books I read for various reasons. But I had to give at least a little something about this book. More often than not, when picking up books about the history of literature, or about publishing, I close them before the first half. There's no reason, after all, for non-fiction to be eye-bleedingly dull, and I won't compromise that unless I simply can't find an interesting book on a given subject. As soon as I opened Wild Things, I knew I wasn't getting that. I knew I'd love it, and I'd read it cover to endnotes (There are a lot of endnotes, because the book cites a number of different sources.). And I proved myself right, on that front. Honestly, it never occurred to me to think of many of these books as being 'subversive' in any way. I was raised on Where the Wild Things Are. I loved the Tomie dePaola books. I knew Shel Silverstein wasn't exactly the most loved children's writer in the world, but subversive? Never crossed my mind. Oh, how wrong I was. The very fact that Sendak and dePaola wrote children's books as gay men was (and still is) amazing. And that's just one of a very few amazing things uncovered in this book. I won't list anything else, so as to save it for you to discover on your own. But I will say this: if you have any interest in children's and young adult literature, read this book. Right now.
