Maybe the best reproduction of the smaller books but the material from late in his career isn't as strong and includes abridged pieces and art. For completists. ( ) Since I read Edward Gorey's biography, I thought it would be a good idea to immerse myself in his books which led me to Amphigorey, Amphigorey Too, and Amphigorey Again. These are collections of his illustrated works and I have to be honest that I don't think I'm intellectual enough to get the 'deeper meaning' behind his grotesque little tales. While I found some of them amusing, I wasn't overly impressed or blown away. Also, I have to agree with Gorey's biographer that his books do best in their tiny format instead of lumped together like this. Reading fatigue hit me HARD while I was trying to get through these (and they really didn't capture my imagination) so it's going to be a 4/10 from me. This is the last of the Amphigorey collections and also a sort of memorial to Edward Gorey. The images in the last piece, about the letter "Z," fade out at the end, which was touching. As a collection, though, it's pretty light, especially when held against the previous three Amphigorey volumes. Nothing really stands out, and a lot seems to be a rehash of already expressed ideas. A few works were unfinished. Still and all, it is Gorey, and something is better than nothing. We miss you, still. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

This latest collection displays in glorious abundance the offbeat characters and droll humor of Edward Gorey. Figbash is acrobatic, topiaries are tragic, hippopotami are admonitory, and galoshes are remorseful in this celebration of a unique talent that never fails to delight, amuse, and confound readers. Amphigorey Again contains previously uncollected work and two unpublished stories-"The Izzard Book," a quirky riff on the letter Z, and "La Malle Saignante," a bilingual homage to early French silent serial movies. Rough sketches and unfinished panels show an ironic and singular mind at work and serve as a fitting celebration of Edward Gorey's unusual genius. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
