The Strand hosts Tom Fitzharris and Robert Greskovic for the launch of Fitzharris's From Ted to Tom: The Illustrated Envelopes of Edward Gorey.
Starting in 1974, Edward Gorey sent a total of fifty letters to Fitzharris, his close friend. Every envelope Fitzharris received was illustrated by Gorey, and filled with surprises: typewritten letters with news and opinions from Gorey's life, handwritten note cards with unexpected quotes, sketches, inside jokes, and a host of other joyous miscellany.
On February 3, Fitzharris will be discussing Gorey’s envelope art, letters, philosophy, and more. Joining Tom in conversation is Robert Greskovic, a renowned dance critic and friend of Gorey for over thirty years.
