3Ws – J. Robert Lennon

November 18, 2014 Filed Under: 3Ws, books are awesome, music, writing

Friendly John color

What do you create?

Primarily novels, but also short stories, book reviews, music, and sometimes photographs. I enjoy making neat piles of things, or visually striking arrangements of similar items, like pens, books, eyeglasses, guitars, shirts, shoes, LPs, and packages of food. I like making amusing signs for my office door. Also classroom handouts. Websites. Jokes.

 

Why do you create?

It’s the most fun thing to do, and the thing that makes me most feel like a real person. I don’t have any illusions about my work lasting beyond my own lifetime, or even very long when I’m alive, but I rarely feel happy unless I’m making something.
 

What do you consume?

Well, a lot of internets, that’s for sure. Also, of course, novels. Comics. Music, though less than I probably should as a musician. I burn a fair amount of fossil fuels, both in my travels and indirectly through the various other consumables I have delivered to my house in trucks. I’ve eaten many thousands of eggs and probably drunk tens of thousands of cups of coffee. I also consume a lot of other people’s time while they listen to me talk and talk and talk.

It’s National Library Week. As a child, the libr It’s National Library Week. As a child, the library was my precious refuge. I took full advantage of the ability to read anything I wanted to while I was in the hallowed halls of a town library. And when I was overwhelmed by classroom life, spending lunch in the school library reading the encyclopedias was my favorite form of self-care. After my first novel came out, a childhood friend sent me a picture (first photo) from my hometown library. I don’t have the right words to explain the pride I feel to know that my own books are on the same shelves that held the books that taught me about storytelling when I was a child. And last year, right before the shutdown, when I popped in to the San Francisco Public Library, I got a little misty-eyed when I found a copy of STAY, with Argo’s beautiful face looking up at me (second photo). It is a powerful thing for our communities to have public libraries and the support of librarians who work so hard to cultivate safe spaces and free access to information and literature. Happy National Library Week to all of you. #nationallibraryweek
