List #40: Happy Birthday, Edward Gorey


Who: Based on his work, you'd be forgiven for thinking author/illustrator Edward Gorey must have worked alongside Max Beerbohm in Victorian England. Gorey, however, was born in Chicago and didn't start publishing his own stories until the 1950s. It's a nice reminder that it is possible to escape the zeitgeist of your own time and place.
