Edward Gorey Zitate

Edward St. John Gorey war ein US-amerikanischer Autor und Illustrator. Bekannt ist er für seine schwarzweiß schraffierten Zeichnungen, mit denen er sowohl Bücher anderer Autoren als auch eigene Werke, hauptsächlich kurze Geschichten in Comicform, illustrierte.

Goreys eigene Geschichten sind in skurrilem Humor gehalten und weisen Beziehungen zur Nonsens- und Kinderliteratur auf. Häufig handeln sie von ausdruckslosen Personen im späten 19. oder frühen 20. Jahrhundert, denen absurde und makabre Dinge zustoßen. Charakteristisch für Goreys Werke ist der nüchterne Ton des Textes, der zusammen mit den Zeichnungen oft einen reglosen, finsteren Eindruck vermittelt. Zu seinen bekanntesten Werken zählen The Doubtful Guest und The Gashlycrumb Tinies . Wikipedia

Illuminated by the moon,
Regrets her act, and finds appalling
The thought she will be dead so soon.”

Who smoked without stopping all day;
As pack followed pack,
Her lungs first turned black,
And eventually rotted away.”
