The movie business, which brings him fame and fortune (and the opportunity to keep lions - lovely picture here, bringing to mind the author's own interest in cats), leads to his becoming 'unstrung' and taking off for S. America (naked and bearded in the jungle, still occupied in keeping his journal.) Rather uncertain ending, but very solitary feeling - as he returns to visit his lions from a trip to a publisher and finds the animals have been sent to Ohio for the winter - cue image of our hero looking out over snowy waste. Very short and at first reading seems to be about nothing, but Gorey implies a very lonely existence - even to this individual, gifted with looks and wealth.

Fetching young Hamish prefers life in the great outdoors. One day he mistakenly opens an envelope, which leads to movie stardom and sudden wealth. He buys property and begins raising lions, but soon the celebrity life gets the better of him. He flees the glitz and glamour, choosing his big cats over the big screen . . . With charming, distinctive pen-and-ink drawings coupled with characteristically succinct text, Edward Gorey leads us¿as only he can do¿through the mysterious circumstances that envelop Hamish on a long journey that begins with a single misstep. First published in 1973 and long out of print, The Lost Lions is an ever-popular Gorey classic. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
