It's Edward Gorey, so minimal text, lots of space in the illustrations, but where there is something, it's painstakingly cross hatched and detailed. Rhyming couplets of apparent nonsense, Edwardian effeteness, fur coats, silk smoking jackets and drives in an open-top jalopy, with the inevitable Goreyesque death and ambiguous ending to round it off. On one level, a whimsical tale of the relationship between a bird and a man, but Gorey leaves that space for his readers to fill with their own meaning. On an initial read, I took an allegory of living with terminal illness, of the frustrations, anger and denial of coming to terms with mortality, and the sharpened appreciation of a life that has a clear sense of being finite and bounded. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Emblus fingby's life was changed forever with the unexpected arrival of the osbick bird. The two became inseparable companions, enjoying card games, musical interludes, and sunset strolls. They took tea together, passed the time making arts and crafts, and perhaps only occasionally had disagreements. Their curious relationship came to an end only with the utmost display of loyalty. Find meaning where you will among the twinkling rhymes and crosshatched lines: Is this tender tale a primer on friendship, or possibly an examination of an artist and his muse? Though short in length, the story is sure to linger long in your imagination. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
