Product Description
“One of Mr. Gorey’s wordless masterworks.”—New York Times 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.
About the Author
Edward St. John Gorey (1925–2000), gave to the world over one hundred works, including The Gashlycrumb Tinies, The Doubtful Guest, and The Wuggly Ump; prize-winning set and costume designs for innumerable theater productions from Cape Cod to Broadway; and a remarkable number of illustrations in publications such as the New Yorker and the New York Times. Gorey’s masterful pen-and-ink illustrations and his ironic, offbeat humor have brought him critical acclaim and an avid following throughout the world.

The Power of No Words, Jun 24 2011

This review is from: The West Wing (Hardcover)
I expected this wordless book to blow me away more than any of Gorey's better known works and it did just that. The thoughtful penstroke of any illustrator worth his/her weight is all you need to see to "get the picture". A lot of the intensity in this work comes from what Gorey chose not to show us... and it is meant to be part of the fun as well. Gorgeous addition to any library.

Not the White House West Wing, Jun 30 2011
By dave1 - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: The West Wing (Hardcover)
When I ordered this book I thought it was about the west wing of the White House. Not so! It's a book of illustrations in black, white and shades of gray. While they are nice, there are only, and the book is small about 7 x 7".
Listmania!
