Theodor Seuss Geisel was never supposed to be a household name. If you had encountered him in the early 1920s, a Dartmouth graduate who liked to doodle and had an idiosyncratic sense of humor, you could be forgiven for assuming he was a magazine illustrator.
Or, if you knew him as a man-child, or even as an adman, you'd probably think of him as your coked-up copywriter with a weakness for nonsense rhymes.
And here, somehow, was this man - who never had children, who hated being around them in large groups and who once said that he wrote books for "people" rather than "kids" - the lone voice of children in America.
The journey of how that happened is not linear. It's not the story of a boy with a dream, who studied children's literature and worked his way up the publishing ladder.
It's more like a series of odd bounces-a fluke, a rejection, a dare-that collectively reshaped an industry. To understand Dr. Seuss is to understand how, in the American tradition, genius often hides behind whimsy.
