Amphigorey Again Edward Gorey
Harcourt 0156030217 / 9780156030212 Paperback New
Perhaps only Edward Lear is the late Edward Gorey's peer among writer-artists. Lear considered himself an artist first and Gorey thought of himself more as a writer. Yet Lear seemingly put greater effort into the texts; Gorey into the pictures. Lear's drawings often look tossed-off whereas Gorey's are dense patchworks of tiny patterns before which his Edwardian personae and fanciful creatures disport and into which sometimes they visually sink. Lear addressed children first; Gorey adults; but both appeal to anyone with a taste for morbid absurdity. But for its much greater childishness Lear's sublime The Story of the Four Little Children Who Went round the World could be one of Gorey's tales of addled travel such as The Headless Bust in this final omnibus after Amphigorey (1972) Amphigorey Too (1975) and Amphigorey Also (1983) of Gorey's work. There is less of Gorey at his best here and some that seems or plainly is incomplete. Still Gorey's unique talent should be represented as completely as possible in every collection of American art and literature

Object Lesson Edward Gorey
Harcourt 0151007098 / 9780151007097 Hardcover New
Inspired by Samuel Foote's poem, "The Grand Panjandrum," "The Object-Lesson" presents a stunning series of seemingly random and unrelated events. A missing artificial limb, ghostly spectres, and the statue of Corrupted Endeavour all have a place in this enigmatic tale, which combines elements of French surrealism, Japanese haiku, and lots of good fun.
