Brian Selznick and Hugo Cabret

January 29, 2008

Brian Selznick is receiving extensive media attention after receiving the Caldecott Medal for The Invention of Hugo Cabret. This interview in the New York Times gives some background to the writing of the work, and the film influences that permeate it.

We reviewed this title in Fiction Focus, Issue 2, 2007 and pointed to the accompanying website which includes a screening of the world’s first science fiction movie, A Trip to the Moon, made in 1909 by Georges Méliès. Take a look - it enriches the whole Cabret experience.
