The Wild Things (ISBN 1934781630) is a 2009 full-length novel written by Dave Eggers and published by McSweeney's.[1] The book is based on the screenplay of Where the Wild Things Are which Eggers co-wrote. The film is, in turn, based on Maurice Sendak's children's book Where the Wild Things Are.[2]
Development
According to the Acknowledgements of the novel, Eggers, who Spike Jonze asked to write the screenplay, was also asked by Sendak to write the novelization.[3] He said his version is different, as Sendak's Max was based on Sendak, Jonze's was based on Jonze, and while writing the book, Eggers incorporated parts of his boyhood into the character.
