Books on Film: Far Out with Tomi Ungerer

June 24, 2013 by Travis Jonker   1 comments

Tomi Ungerer documentary Far Out Isn’t Far Enough is billed as “One man’s wild, lifelong adventure of testing society’s boundaries through his subversive art”. Based on the first line in this trailer I’d say … pretty accurate. A film about the life and times of a children’s literature legend that isn’t for children.

    This is a great example of a major question I have. In the age of search engines, should authors use pseudonyms so that we can protect children from questionable content while still linking to all of their content. One example may be Bob Sagat. I don’t mind if my kids see Full House, but I’m concerned that they may search for Bob and find his comedy, his R rated comedy.

    What do you think, Travis?
