( ) What a ramblingly odd little story. I'm not sure that I see the point of it. Three protagonists set off via handcar (how very Victorian), because they think that their lives in Willowdale are just too dull. Little do they realize, but dramatic things are happening all around them! A young woman has run away from her beau, a baby is left on a mail hook, a man is seen lurking at the scene of a previous explosion, and another is seen abandoning himself to the swamp. It is almost a relief when our protagonists enter a cave never to return; one can only assume that they have mistaken the endless darkness inside for the endless drearieness of their lives and not realized that they should exit their locale... nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
È contenuto inGorey-in-a-box: amphigorey & amphigorey too di Edward Gorey (indirettamente)
In this enigmatic, surreal, wonderfully entertaining tale, three mysterious figures set out from Willowdale, travelling by handcar. On the way to nowhere in particular they pass a number of odd characters and observe a series of baffling phenomena, from a house burning down in a field to a palatial mansion perched precariously on a bluff. At once deeply vexing and utterly hilarious, darkly mysterious and utterly absurd, The Willowdale Handcar is vintage Edward Gorey. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
