司各特•道格拉斯(Scott Douglas)曾在阿納海姆公共圖書館任圖書管理員。目前在“愚人村作傢工作室”(Gotham Writer’s Workshop)任教,並為《學校圖書館評論》(School Library Journal)、《齣版周刊》(Publishers Weekly)、《進取雜誌》(Foreward Magazine)等撰寫文章。
An unexpectedly raucous and illuminating memoir set in a Southern California public library. For most of us, librarians are the quiet people behind the desk, who, apart from the occasional "shush," vanish into the background. But in Quiet, Please , McSweeney's contributor Scott Douglas puts the quirky caretakers of our literature front and center. With a keen eye for the absurd and a Kesey-esque cast of characters (witness the librarian who is sure Thomas Pynchon is Julia Roberts's latest flame), Douglas takes us where few readers have gone before. Punctuated by his own highly subjective research into library history--from Andrew Carnegie's Gilded Age to today's Afghanistan--Douglas gives us a surprising (and sometimes hilarious) look at the lives which make up the social institution that is his library.

評分 評分幾周前我去單嚮街轉悠瞭一趟,被這本書的名字吸引,就拿起來翻瞭翻。這本書屬於上海人民齣版社“文雅的瘋狂叢書”係列,我有印象的另外兩本是《坐擁書城 : 愛書人如何聚書護書、與書相處的故事》和《舊書與珍本 : 戈德斯通夫婦書店漫遊記》,說的都是讀者和書之間的種種趣事。...
