Tonight, Andrew Lampert—editor of the new book Jackie Gleason: Library of the Paranormal—will share the story of Gleason's astonishing book collection and his deep fascination with subjects like psychic phenomena, life after death, and UFOs. Comedian Jackie Gleason (1916–1987) was a television pioneer, spiritual searcher, and insomniac who spent his nights reading esoteric books. Ranging from scholarly to crackpot, his 3,000-volume library spans the fringes of speculative thinking and reveals a man as concerned with the mysteries of the universe as with getting a laugh.
