Interview with Norton Juster and David Hahn for The Independent:
"Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions."
"MoMA assembles works by artists and artist’s groups who make written and spoken communication intensely physical.
Just through the main gallery doors, a selection of Paul Elliman’s “Found Fonts” — silver hoop earrings, bits of cardboard and other everyday objects shaped like letters and punctuation marks — occupies a large set of glass cases, bringing to mind the word bazaar in “The Phantom Tollbooth."
Get it? It's a bee!
This is similar to the animation that we are working on for the documentary! So great to see people thinking alike and these are just beautiful!

Had a great shoot with actor David Hyde Pierce who, among his many achievements, was the voice for the audio book of The Phantom Tollbooth. We talked about his father's tendency for punning, the challenges of reading The Phantom Tollbooth out loud (what with all those crazy characters...) and got to hear some hilarious voices as he read excerpts for us.

Inspired by the wonderful Rick who we interviewed at Books of Wonder after a talk with Norton and Jules, who told us about his Phantom Tollbooth tattoo. Seems he's not the only one... [gallery order="DESC"]
