Drawing on exclusive interviews conducted with the artist shortly before his passing in 2000, National Book Award-nominee Alexander Theroux combines artistic analysis, personal reminiscence (the two were friends and neighbours for over 25 years) and an intimate familiarity with Gorey's oeuvre to create the most revealing and intimate portrait yet of the beloved artist. Originally released in paperback in 2000 but out of print for most of the last decade, The Strange Case of Edward Gorey is an essential reference for all Gorey fans and scholars.
