司各特•道格拉斯(Scott Douglas)曾在阿纳海姆公共图书馆任图书管理员。目前在“愚人村作家工作室”(Gotham Writer’s Workshop)任教,并为《学校图书馆评论》(School Library Journal)、《出版周刊》(Publishers Weekly)、《进取杂志》(Foreward Magazine)等撰写文章。
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.

评分用了一整天读完这本书,好玩的句子,故事,有趣的人和事情,不得不一下子读完,看看别人家的图书馆和图书管理员都有哪些段子。 书装帧绵而软。第28页小插曲故事里,“可以想象,骑兵们感到十分沮丧,于是他们想出一个计策报复骑兵”。反复看,觉得故事怎么回...
评分最近都處於腦亂狀態,寫個更腦亂的書評…… 莫名覺得這書有種支離破碎的感覺……總體來說,相比讓人眼前一亮的書名(我是圖書管理員控!),內容就沒什麼驚喜了,當然打動我內心的點還是有的。 首先是由9·11提到媒體報導悲劇對人心理影響的部份,作者提到一個我們很熟悉的...
