Read Around the World
Adult and Youth Services Summer
Reading Clubs!
June 12-August 11
Librarians are fond of authors I
who are originals, one-of-a-kind,
who establish themselves by the
uniqueness of their work. Edward
Gorey was just such an author
who lived up to his apt name. A
large man who wrote small books
about obscure and often mordant
themes that featured a self-mock
ing peril: books that never failed
to entertain. Gorey began as a
self-published small press author
who graduated to mainstream
recognition through a series of
illustrated books based on bizarre
situations—swooning damsels in
distress, doomed, helpless little
children, menacing gargoyles and
rose bushes, labyrinthine hedges,
doors to nowhere—all drawn up
in an elegant black-ink Victorian
style. Dark and macabre maybe,
whimsical and poetic always. He
is widely known as the illustrator
of the PBS TV series “Mystery.”
Even if you have only seen a sin
gle Gorey drawing you will never
forget it. Gorey claimed he only
wrote about real life; if that is
true, what an odd and unique life
he led.
This is not an ode to Edward
Gorey who died in April, but a

celebration of his talent and a reflection on the
creative process. Where does imagination and
creativity come from? How does one person
embody so many ideas while so many folks have
none? Gorey demonstrated with his slim books
that it is not necessary to grind out thousands of
pages to be creative—it is the quality of the
ideas, the originality of the product, the insight of
the imagination that produces a book of lasting
interest. Gorey was in effect
Charles Dickens in
reverse—small books
versus huge books—
but the results were
the same; rich memo
rable characters and
settings that grip our
imagination.
Where do we stumble
across those qualities in today’s life?
Certainly we spend a lot of time reading popular
mass market fiction, watching movies and TV, or
surfing the internet—but in all of these, creativity
seems to take second or third place to marketing
strategy. Of course there are exceptions, and cre
ativity that sells a product is fine, but does it have
the same social worth as creativity for its own
intrinsic worth? I am afraid that our senses have
been dulled over the years so that our ability to
identify and recognize creativity when we see it
has been seriously diminished. Maybe there truly
is no market for originality; or don’t people real
ize the difference between good, bad, and boring
anymore? Worse, do we recognize brilliance
when we see it? Or, do we as a society fail to
reward creativity, uniqueness, and originality?
Gorey contrasts so clearly with formula writers
who chum out endless best sellers—yet offer no

insights, no universal enlightenment, no useful
message about the human condition, no poetry, no
real spark, no literary style. Worse, I guess, is sit
ting transfixed by internet, watching screens that
offer nothing original, in fact which resemble
slow moving electronic comic books. Internet has
yet to live up to its potential, though I am sure it
will. But will it be a power for creativity or just
commercialism? Albert Einstein said in 1939 that
“If science, like art, is to perform its mission
truly and fully, its achievements must
enter not only superficially but
jjjfrix with their inner meanings into
W®, the consciousness of people.”
1 ^ The surSe P°Pular culture
/U® veers away from that paradigm. So much of our popular culture today springs from
just those sources—mass market
v
books, TV, movies and of course the
internet. Where is the writing, the thinking,
the creativity? Please don’t tell me the best brains
of today are all in e-business because if they are,
we are in a lot of trouble as a society.What do we
have? Tedious authors writing best sellers—dim
witted and formulaic. The bottom end of TV is an
endless parade of mindless pop-culture, single
message messianic “gurus” who offer us simpleminded solutions to life’s more vexing problems.
Movies seem to be all about car chase block
busters with no scripts. All this is forgettable,
while a single Gorey drawing stays in your mem
ory forever. Talent versus no talent. In an era of
clones, Gorey proved one thing; no one can copy
him. And please WTTW—no more gurus—
aaargh!

□ Youth Services Department remodeling
has been temporarily put on hold due to
financial constraints.
□ Marie Ward Reichelt’s History of
Deeifield is available from the Higginson
Book Company for $24.50 plus shipping.
The book originally written in 1928 for
Deerfield Post 738 American Legion, had
been unavailable recently. Purchase forms
are in the library.
□ Deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired
patrons are reminded that the library has a
TTY (teletypewriter) at the Reference Desk.
You can call 945-3372 from your TTY and
conversations are typed from one machine
to another, rather than spoken.
□ Why do we we purchase more abridged
than unabridged books on tape? Many
patrons don’t want to carry 12 or more cas
settes when they ride the train or jog. Also,
fewer popular titles are available in
unabridged format and are costly. We are
increasing our unabridged collection but if
we do not own we can arrange an interli
brary loan for you. Ask a librarian!
