Born to be Posthumous: The Eccentric Life and Mysterious Genius of Edward Gorey

This is a substantial look at writer and illustrator Edward Gorey, detailing both his life and his works, and especially his relationships with other people. It's a strong attempt to know someone who desperately wanted NOT to be known.
