Born to Be Posthumous
Author: Mark Dery
Publisher: Little, Brown
ISBN: 031645107X
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 472
Book Description
The definitive biography of Edward Gorey, the eccentric master of macabre nonsense. From The Gashlycrumb Tinies to The Doubtful Guest, Edward Gorey's wickedly funny and deliciously sinister little books have influenced our culture in innumerable ways, from the works of Tim Burton and Neil Gaiman to Lemony Snicket. Some even call him the Grandfather of Goth. But who was this man, who lived with over twenty thousand books and six cats, who roomed with Frank O'Hara at Harvard, and was known -- in the late 1940s, no less -- to traipse around in full-length fur coats, clanking bracelets, and an Edwardian beard? An eccentric, a gregarious recluse, an enigmatic auteur of whimsically morbid masterpieces, yes -- but who was the real Edward Gorey behind the Oscar Wildean pose? He published over a hundred books and illustrated works by Samuel Beckett, T.S. Eliot, Edward Lear, John Updike, Charles Dickens, Hilaire Belloc, Muriel Spark, Bram Stoker, Gilbert & Sullivan, and others. At the same time, he was a deeply complicated and conflicted individual, a man whose art reflected his obsessions with the disquieting and the darkly hilarious. Based on newly uncovered correspondence and interviews with personalities as diverse as John Ashbery, Donald Hall, Lemony Snicket, Neil Gaiman, and Anna Sui, Born to Be Posthumous draws back the curtain on the eccentric genius and mysterious life of Edward Gorey.

Book Description
Never before printed as a stand-alone book, The Worsted Monster is a little-known play with illustrated sets, characters, and props created by Edward Gorey. This very limited edition (26 lettered copies for sale, with three out-of-series), a miniature book, is a three part set. The overall structure includes a carousel format (of the play's acts) and two slipcases; one houses the separately bound play text and the other a portfolio of the illustrations and Gorey's production notes. The book slips into a multi-colored hand-knitted woolen band, laid in a woolen sock, and rests in a bookcloth and bonded leather covered box. The edition and its presentation was designed by Patrice Miller, and printed by Chris Miller, both of Aredian Press.
