Commentary Conducive To Books Amphigorey Again (Amphigorey #4)

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 celebra- tion of a unique talent that never fails to delight, amuse, and confound.  
Amphigorey Again contains previously uncollected work and two unpublished stories—"The Izzard Book," a quirky riff on the letter Z , and "La Malle Saignante," a bilingual homage to early French silent serial movies.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 unfin- ished panels show an ironic and singular mind at work.

Discuss Epithetical Books Amphigorey Again (Amphigorey #4)

New to me graphic book author and artist. It took me awhile to get into the groove of his bizarre writings and illustrations. I purchased four of his graphic books on a whim and am now just enjoying them.

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

Collection of Gorey works. Quirky and nonsensical. Warning: Some knowledge of French is advised.

I think it would be helpful to read a psychological study of Edward Gorey. What a morbid and fascinating mind! Love his art, but can only take his mayhem-obsessed tales in small doses.

The very end was rather melancholy, but I think Agowy Erderd, Ogdred Weary, Wee Graddory, and all their friends would have been pleased by that."The helpful thought for which you lookIs written somewhere in a book.""It's well we cannot hear the screamsWe make in other people's dreams."

Fun, whimsical, charming.

This is the weakest collection of the 4 by Edward Gorey. I feel like this is where the leftovers ended up. There are a few great stories in the collection, but there were many things that are short and havent been published. I will put the unpublished reviews in this and otherwise just list the titles. I feel the first 3 Amphigoreys are worth it and a collector could do without this one. The Galoshes of RemorseSigns of SpringSeasonal ConfusionRandom WalkCategorey: 50 drawingsThe Other Statue10
