Format:Taschenbuch
This is the 2nd of the Amphigorey series and is just as entertaining as the first. Edward Gorey takes macabre little tales and illustrates them in a delightfully, gothic manner. A literary treasure and a must read for those who enjoy dark humor.
Format:Taschenbuch
This is the second book in the Amphigorey series. As I said above there's nothing very shocking in this one. Some favorites are The Gilded Bat and The Evil Garden
Format:Taschenbuch
Unlike most writers, Gorey does not seek publicity and goes his own way with classic unconcern. His artistic credo scattered about in random interviews is the antithesis of verbosity. "There's a kind of style running through the universe. I think of my books as Victorian novels all scrunched up. I write about everyday life. It's dreadfully hazardous. I never could understand why people feel they have to climb Mt. Everest when you know it's quite dangerous getting out of bed. I think you have to rely on chance an awful lot. I don't believe in free will. I've always been a firm believer in the line from a Patrick White novel. 'Life is full of alternatives, but no choices.' . . . I haven't the slightest idea why my work has taken the tack it has. I just do what occurs to me--if it occurs to me strong enough. My philosophy? I'm a Taoist if I'm anything. They believe this is the way the world runs and you might as well go with it. I stand by the idea that you can't prevent things. The surrealist writers thought the most mysterious thing of all is just everyday life. I agree. Everyday life is very discomfiting. I'm trying to convey that discomfiting texture in my books. THE BEASTLY BABY is an illustrated commentary on the nature-nurture issue. In Gorey's view, some "bad-apples" are such from the beginning. THE NURSERY FRIEZE is an antiquarian's delight. THE PIOUS INFANT showcases religious zealotry. THE EVIL GARDEN might have been inspired by Mirbeau's "le jardin des supplices," Stutthof Concentration Camp or the carbon-nitrogen cycle. THE INANIMATE TRAGEDY is an obvious parody of a classical Greek play complete with chorus, carried out by inanimate objects. THE IRON TONIC could be depictions of some of the inhabitants of Lake Woebegone waiting for Godot. THE OSBICK BIRD is an example of commensalism. THE DERANGED COUSINS is an example of psycho-pathology in every day life. Gorey's work is like an open window on the ID which draws our attention to the ubiquitous dysphemism of human activity. This commentator who is a resident of "Fun City, USA," has known six people who were murdered and three murderers, and the list of personally viewed and experienced disasters is lengthy. Gorey's work makes us think about the human condition as well as covertly laugh at what we see as its stark shortcomings and irrationalities.

Gorey's a scary guy...
Even the most seemingly innocuous tale becomes bizarre and sinister in his hands, thanks to his macabre, claustrophobic writing style. Lesen Sie weiter...

Deliciously Wicked!
Just like Shel Silverstein in the ABZ BOOK, Edward Gorey suceeds once again because of the innocuous, sing-songy way he delivers his tales of doom and gloom. Lesen Sie weiter...

Here's a little tribute to Edward Gorey: I tried to submit one earlier but I haven't set my Netscape preferences yet--so here goes:
