The Phantom Tollbooth roars into Chicago October 7 - November 15. How a beloved Childbook Classic takes centerstage for Endless Generations.



ASK/CHICAGO:  1 OF MY TOP 5 BOOKS OF ALL TIMES THAT SPANS TIME (i.e.: from the 1900s to the 2000s we could say) that I ever read is now transformed into a leading and well-anticipated Chicago Performance.  That timeless Production is:

 

THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH
by NORTON JUSTER, Author & JULES FEIFFER, Illustrator

 

that I had the honor of meeting twice at the Jean Albano Art Gallery in River North in Chicago.

My Boyfriend/Fiancée, ROBERT E. HOFSTADTER (of the famed Family that won 3 Pulitzers & 1 Nobel Prize)  bought the Book for me as a Gift when I was in my late 50s right before I began writing:

 

SKiN: Sacred Kinship in Nature

How 10 Beloved Plush Toys Redefine Race (C)2009

 

and was fully influenced in being bound and determined to the write something of great Substance & Conviction that would last through Time & Space in essence, style and character(s) as THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH has, had and continues to do so.

 

Upon rereading it every year, I can honestly say THE PHANTOM TOLLBOOTH is as darling then; now as it would have been – as a Storyline & Plot --  had I read it when I was a bit younger or as a Kid 50 years ago. 
 

C U there.  Dress as your Favorite Character!  That’s what I plan to do.
 

The Circle completes itself.
