There is something about the drawings of Edward Gorey that has always fascinated me. What better way to learn more about the style of Gorey through this book. The first portion written by Mr. Ross was more fascinating in comparison to the second portion written by Ms. Wilkins. The first part of this book is an interview between Clifford Ross, showing the eccentricities of Mr. Gorey. The book is packed full of Gorey illustrations! Wonderful collection of some of his best work, which also displayed the different phases of art he created. The second portion of the book was almost like reading someone's doctoral thesis. I guess because I am not really affluent in art techniques and terminologies, I may have felt this was a little boring and over my head in some aspects.
Overall, the book is great for any Gorey enthusiast! ( )
