The Gnome King reviewed The Unstrung Harp by Edward Gorey
Review of 'The Unstrung Harp' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Have you ever wondered what an author goes through when creating a novel? The beginnings of an idea, creating characters which start to become more and more real, the insecurities, self doubt, beginnings of madness, figuring out how to end the book, the book taking over your dreams, rewrites, publishers, reviews, friends opinions and eventually trying to get away from it all. You really have to ask why they put themselves through it.
This is an interesting attempt to get all those feelings and experiences known to the reader. I thought it was a diary at first, but in the end it feels like a series of photos (in this case illustrations) in a magazine article where each picture has a little write up on what the author is doing.
Nice little book, well worth having a read.
