Memento Gorey: The Last Interviews with Edward Gorey

By Christopher Seufert

This book offers a new window on the often-mysterious Gorey and captures many facets of his personality as he and the author worked together to produce the only Gorey documentary film that Gorey approved.

Going beyond the many books about his work, these images and conversations capture new insights about Gorey himself: the mind behind the renowned American icon of theater, illustration, writing, and bemusingly cryptic observations.

Features: 17 previously unpublished interviews 5 with Gorey himself, including the last expressions of Gorey's singular mind, and 12 with a wide variety of artists who worked with and were inspired by him, including Neil Gaiman, Danny Elfman, Daniel Handler, Julie Harris, and Terry Gilliam. Over 250 photos, previously unpublished, documenting Gorey's daily life and his home as he lived in it.
