Brattlecast: A Firsthand Look at Secondhand Books

Brattlecast #199 - Edward Gorey


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re talking about a huge Edward Gorey collection that recently arrived at the shop. The author of over 100 books, Gorey is best known for his stylized pen-and-ink drawings, enigmatic narratives, and sinister sense of humor. He also designed book covers and drew illustrations for works by Samuel Beckett, H.G. Wells, John Updike, and Charles Dickens—among many others—and even created the sets and costumes for a 1977 production of Dracula. We’ll explore Gorey’s prolific career and his life on Cape Cod, talk about the logistics of acquiring this collection, and delve into the book buying circumstances that are too scary for Ken on this haunting new #brattlecast.
