Memento Gorey
Previously unpublished interviews and photographs reveal the person behind the art and document Gorey's everyday life.
Filmmaker Christopher Seufert spent four years with the late writer, illustrator, and artist Edward Gorey before Gorey's death in 2000. Seufert is the producer of the only documentary to be shot with and agreed to by Edward Gorey during his life (EdwardGoreyFilm.com).
This book offers a new window on the often-mysterious Gorey and captures many facets of his personality as he and the author worked together to produce the only Gorey documentary film that Gorey approved. The conversations are personal and revealing, with Gorey (draped with cats) sprawled on a chair in his kitchen, chatting over a beer at a nearby tavern, or seated at his daily lunch café.
This material, chosen for public release with Gorey’s enthusiastic encouragement and cooperation before his death, includes the following:
