Sendak: I hate them. It’s like making believe there’s another kind of sex. There isn’t another kind of sex. There isn’t another kind of books. A book is a book is a book. I know there’s terribly old-fashioned. I’m old, and when I’m gone they’ll probably try to make my books on all these things, but I’m going to fight it like hell.’ [Pauses] I can’t believe I’ve turned into a typical old man. I can’t believe it. I was young just minutes ago.

Believer: Is the problem with e-books partly a problem of color?

Sendak: Yes. Picture books depend on color, largely. And they haven’t perfected the color in those machines. But it’s not that. It’s giving up a form that is so beautiful. A book is really like a lover. It arranges itself in your life in a way that is beautiful. Even as a kid, my sister, who was the eldest, brought books home for me, and I think I spent more time sniffing and touching them than reading. I just remember the joy of the book; the beauty of the binding. The smelling of the interior. Happy.

Я тоже помню эти ощущения от запаха, фактуры старых книг. Поэтому любимые прогулки моего детства были прогулками в букинисты.

Среди всего прекрасного, что может предоставить нам электронные книги — возможность для читателя стать соаавтором. Вот ее и нужно развивать.
