More than 4,500 displaced men, women, and children aboard the Exodus are turned away from the Holy Land. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Arab League vehemently reject the U.N. The Jewish Irgun fights the British in Palestine. Unreformed Nazis make their unimpeded way to South America, where they freely publish and deny the Holocaust. Christian Dior arouses global grievance with his “New Look,” and Arnold Schoenberg creates a new musical form. During this year, Primo Levi is 28 and living in Turin, and 56-year-old Nelly Sachs is in Stockholm. With a technique reminiscent of John Dos Passos’ “newsreels,” the author records events from across the world (Paris, Palestine, New York, Los Angeles, Budapest, Berlin, Delhi, etc.), using the present tense to create a sense of immediacy. Åsbrink’s book, translated from the Swedish, makes some of that year’s neglected history and high drama tangible and meaningful. Among innumerable turning points in history, 1947, just two years after World War II ended, is a year worth review.

Except in Furnace, death is the least of his worries.

But I do know that my parents were immigrants and they didn't know that they should clean the stories up for us. Sendak: How would I know? I just write the books. To discuss the dark, unorthodox adaptation, Sendak invited us over, along with Jonze and novelist-screenwriter Dave Eggers (who participated via speakerphone from San Francisco) for an exclusive group interview: The always acerbic Sendak, 81, inhabits the world of the Wild Things as fully as any child-he actually placed an order for a Wild Things parka during our interview-so we couldn't wait to ask him about Spike Jonze's big-budget, live-action movie based on the book.
