Paul Arthur Garon (July 6, 1942 – July 26, 2022) was an American author, writer, and editor, noted for his meditations on surrealist works, and also a noted scholar on blues as a musical and cultural movement.[1]
Born in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of a doctor and a sociology graduate,[2] Garon settled in Chicago and was one of the founders of the Chicago Surrealist Group in the mid-1960s.[3]
Garon was one of the founding editors of Living Blues magazine in 1970. He once wrote that "blues represents a fusion of music and poetry accomplished at a very high emotional temperature".[4] Amongst his other publications, Garon was the biographer of Peetie Wheatstraw.[5] Later, Garon and his wife Beth operated Beasley Books together, a rare book business in Chicago. He was also a founding partner of the Chicago Rare Book Center, in Evanston, Illinois.
Garon died on July 26, 2022, at the age of 80.[2]
