Book Description

Edward Gorey (1925-2000) was a fascinating and prolific author and artist. Of the one hundred delightful and fascinating books that Gorey wrote and illustrated, he rarely revealed their specific inspirations or their meanings. Where did his intriguing ideas come from? In Gorey Secrets: Artistic and Literary Inspirations behind Divers Books by Edward Gorey, Malcolm Whyte utilizes years of thorough research to tell an engrossing, revealing story about Gorey's unique works. Exploring a sampling of Gorey's eclectic writings, from The Beastly Baby and The Iron Tonic to The Curious Sofa and Dracula, Whyte uncovers influences of Herman Melville, Agatha Christie, Edward Lear, the I Ching, William Hogarth, Rene Magritte, Hokusai, French cinema, early toy books, eighteenth-century religious tracts for children, and much more. With an enlightening preface by Gorey collaborator and scholar Peter F. Neumeyer, Gorey Secrets brings important, uncharted insight into the genius of Edward Gorey and is a welcome addition to collections of both the seasoned Gorey reader and those who are just discovering his captivating books.

Savoring audiobooks without complications – this app's design is commendable. The tone adjustment feature is an exciting touch, allowing me to immerse myself even more in the content. Tone adjustment adds a unique touch to my listening experience. I'm hooked! Decent narration, predictable story. The voice actor did a good job, but the plot followed a familiar formula. If you’re looking for something new and groundbreaking, this might not be it.

Audiobooks have transformed my daily walks into a time of inspiration and learning. 🛌 Indulging in soothing bedtime stories – this app is my nightly retreat into imagination. 🌙📚 📱 My pocket-sized library – this app makes reading accessible anytime, anywhere! 📚📱 Noise reduction feature is magic. Now I can listen to recordings even in noisy settings. It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though.
