Exceeding Expectations Book
Of Books and Baby Boomers
The years between 1946 and 1964 not only constitute an era of the boomers, but they are also among the glory days of literature as books of several genres
and subjects tackled the very sensibilities of boomers, most of whom displayed an admirable love of reading.
In the dawn of the information age, the boomers’ select books started gathering dust but the younger generation of echo boomers also did take the time to
read the pages of yesteryears.
The great writers of a preceding era are almost always put on a literary pedestal by their followers. But it is not by tradition, or fad, or blind faith that
today’s readers held with utmost awe and respect the books read by their predecessors. Think analogically of having listened to an aging and experienced
adult and reading from the baby boomer authors.
One of the most popular books in the boomer period was published in 1946 as a literary journalistic piece— Hiroshima by John Hersey. Hersey narratively
presented true-to-life accounts of Hiroshima residents, a portion of whom who survived the Hiroshima bombing. The reader steps into a bomb-ridden far away
world, that Hershey fashioned using words that filled the reader with cutting terror.
Another literary piece of the boomer period that made it into one of the most-read books is Thomas Mann’s Doctor Faustus, which was published in 1947. People
were not only discussing Faustus but they were equally interested in the evil spirit to whom the German legend sold his soul, Mephistopheles.
Another book, which is even more magical and fantastical than Doctor Faustus, was published in 1951— J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings. The trilogy’s
movie adaptation in the new millennium was an instant success. The commendation credited to the fictionist who imagined the Middle Earth and presented it
before us in his gorgeously descriptive writing.
Only a few geniuses are born in every period but the boomer years exceeded what their followers and predecessors expected of them. Their contributions not
only to the literary field manifest until today and will continue to reverberate for generations to come.
