PRX: A Bit Less Wild
|
Hi friend of PRX,
We are mourning Maurice Sendak, who matched fierce creativity with a disdain for the treacly and cloying. Like a good journalist, he aimed for the truth of something in all its messy craziness, not the icky nostalgia that everyone knew not to be true.
PRX likes true things — human stories from The Moth Radio Hour, Snap Judgment, and State of the Re:Union. The Truth that emerges in fiction or in performance.
And really good factual stories, where the real wild things are.
-John
