| Jim Bishopb: Jersey City, New Jersey, Nov 21, 1907 d: Delray Beach, Florida, Jul 26, 1987 American. Author, Journalist. Syndicated newspaper columnist for 27 years; wrote many historical books: The Day Lincoln Was Shot, 1955, sold over three million copies.
A good writer is not, per se, a good book critic. No more so than a good drunk is automatically a good bartender. A newspaper is lumber made malleable. It is ink made into words and pictures. It is conceived, born, grows up and dies of old age in a day. I can look at my books with pleasure from a distance. Four feet is close enough. The morning after a death, we learned an avalanche of goodies about the renowned, some of which persuaded the reader that he should have cultivated the deceased in life. Watching your daughter being collected by her date feels like handing over a million dollar Stradivarius to a gorilla. When you read about a car crash in which two or three youngsters are killed, do you pause to dwell on the amount of love and treasure and patience parents poured into bodies no longer suitable for open caskets? |
