"Artist, illustrator and writer Edward Gorey would have turned 100 this year,
and the recently published “From Ted to Tom: The Illustrated Envelopes of
Edward Gorey” is a fitting celebration of his wit and talent.
The book reproduces, in stunning detail, a series of 50 elaborately illustrated
envelopes Gorey created in the mid-1970s. But when I started reading “From Ted
to Tom,” I felt confused – and a little let down.
The book makes no mention of Gorey’s queerness. To me, this is a missed
opportunity to shed light on how being gay may have fueled some of his most
personal work."
