Edward gorey amphigorey also6/5/2023 Les Passementeries Horribles are sinister embroidered tassels and braids which are giant-sized. The Grand Passion (A novel) is “Englished anonymously from the Conton dialect”. The Sopping Thursday features rain, nervous cats, brave Bruno the dog and an apparently happy ending. The Epiplectic Bicycle has a purpose all its own, as siblings Embley and Yewbert eventually discover. The Blue Aspic is about Jasper Ankle, an opera fan obsessed with a diva named Ortenzia Caviglia, famed for her peformances in ‘Lizzia Bordena’, ‘La Reine des Iguanes’, and ‘La Vengence Posthume’. The Utter Zoo is an alphabet of creatures from A for Ampoo to Z for Zote. The contents of these very small books are rearranged to fit the much bigger pages of this collection but are otherwise unaltered. They aren’t in any thematic or chronological sequence but the tone of Gorey’s work was so consistent over almost forty years of creativity that this volume feels excellently curated. Amphigorey Also is the third volume of collected works by Edward Gorey, featuring seventeen tightly focused, darkly humorous pieces.
