Green eggs and subversion
Dr. Seuss. Even his name is a mystery. We all know the characters he created: the Grinch (which he claimed was a self-portrait), Horton the Elephant, the Star-Belly Sneetches, the Whos and, of course, his most famous creation, the Cat in the Hat, who springs to the silver screen across North America this weekend in his newest, Mike Myers incarnation.
But who the deuce was Seuss? Tell me, oh tell me, oh tell me, by Zeus!
I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you, by Zeus, in a way that I pray will be not too abstruse.
