The West Wing

Description

Edward Gorey's The West Wing is an invitation to the imagination. On each page, a room beckons, inviting the reader to wonder why three shoes lie here abandoned, what is retreating in that mirror's reflection, or why there is an imprint of a body on the wallpaper, faded and floating four feet above the floor. A wordless mystery, it is one of Gorey's finest works.

Reviews

New York Times '[Gorey creates] dark masterpieces of surreal morality...beautifully depicted.' Vanity Fair 'One of the most original artistic and literary minds in late 20th Century America' Los Angeles Times
