Sobre este artículo
Dodd, Mead & Co., New York, 1980. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). A re-issue, and the first English-language casebound edition. This copy signed by the author on the title page using his anagrammed pseudonym. Small 8vo. Unpaginated. Paper-covered boards. A tiny hint of wear to two or three extremities, and the merest hint of light partial toning to the free endpapers. A virtually fine copy in very slightly rubbed and chafed dust wrapper with the St. Martin's Press imprint price-sticker to the head of the front flap, and a trace of moisture rippling just about discernable. Bogus limitation statement printed to the copyright page, noting this as #83 of a limited edition of 212 copies (an identical statement is found in all examples). A very nice signed copy of this re-issue of Gorey's 1961 "pornographic illustrated story about furniture". The book of course is not even slightly pornographic yet somewhat bafflingly the German translation of 1966 was still banned in Austria for "stimulating lustfulness and misleading the sex drive" (which sounds like a statement Gorey could have penned)..
Sinopsis
The Curious Sofa: A Pornographic Work by Ogdred Weary While the title may include "pornographic," rest assured that there is nothing "dirty" shown, and all of the naughty imagery takes place inside your own head as you read Gorey's euphemistic expressions: "Looking out the window she saw Herbert, Albert, and Harold, the gardener, an exceptionally well-made youth, disporting themselves on the lawn. They were soon joined by Donald, Herbert's singularly well-favoured sheepdog, and many were the giggles and barks that came from the shrubbery."
