<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"A classic artistic parody from two of the world's most satiric minds. Moss uncovers ... historical anecdotes, which are accompanied by Gorey's ... deadpan drawings. Although the ... scenarios involving Emily Dickinson, Mozart, Henrik Ibsen, and El Greco are all the product of Moss's fertile imagination, his uncanny emulation of style makes us believe they (just possibly) might be true" --<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A literary humor classic--fractured biographical moments from the lives of great writers and composers.</b> <p/>This is a collection of mostly imagined encounters between literary figures and their real or imagined family members, friends, and bitter enemies. In Howard Moss's satirical voice and Edward Gorey's twenty-five deadpan illustrations, we see Jane Austen wielding artful passive aggression and <i>Sense and Sensibility</i> galleys, the Alcott girls sculpting fudge, the rise of Emily Dickinson's ruthless witch hazel business, among other delights. <p/>Perfect for those who love literature too much to hold it closely to actual facts.</p>
