Talk:Edward Gorey

Much, much more needs to be said. Gorey worked as an illustrator for several publishers (see, e.g. the cover art for Lukcy Jim, recently re-released), and he was a sought-after literary light. He also, apparently, had a fondness for strong drink.

I read somewhere that he had an absurd amount of cats living in his home when he died, between 50 and 100 if i remember correctly... Twisby 22:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understood that it was more like 5-6. The Ross & Wilkin book (The World of Edward Gorey) is a good source for background material. There is also an extended essay in book form (which I've been meaning to add to the references at the end of the article) called The Strange Case of Edward Gorey by Alexander Theroux, who was a friend & neighbor of Gorey; it was published after Gorey's death, & has a lot of personal anecdotes & miscellaneous observations. (I would check these books myself but I am in the middle of moving house & a lot of the books are packed already.) Z Wylld 16:18, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
