Droll illustrations. Amusing captions. The travails of writing a novel.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
For those who like the whimsical, unique world of Edward Gorey, this is an absolute delight. However, a window overlooking the estate grounds as the storm rages, a blazing fire in the hearth, and an extremely large pot of Earl Grey are definitely called for. I do think that a harpist playing softly in the corner and a sullen Persian cat upon a brocade tuffet would complete the setting. Read and enjoy!
Fun little read, like all Edward Gorey Books

Leave it to someone known for their illustrations to provide a discerningly trenchant expose of the agonies and ecstasies of writing a novel. Anyone who has ever wrestled with the conundrums of plot, character, writing, and rewriting will find much in this deceptively slight volume. If you are the kind of person who must know what a trebizond is, this book will delight you.
