The New Yorker has an extract from 'The Wild Things', Dave Eggers' sort-of-novelization of 'Where The Wild Things Are', as well as an excellent interview with the writer. Eggers wrote the script for the upcoming film version (which, quite frankly, is the best script I've ever read, and from the looks of the trailers, the finished product could be even better), and 'The Wild Things' is a sort of expansion of that, and Maurice Sendak's original source material. The book should be published in October, around the same time as the US release of the film (we have to wait til December to see it in the UK), and the brilliant dust jacket can be seen above.
