He was the Tallman Professor of Classics at Bowdoin College before joining the English faculty at the University of Connecticut in 1962. Edward Gorey (1925–2000) was born in Chicago. He studied briefly at the Art Institute of Chicago, spent three years in the army testing poison gas, and attended Harvard College, where he majored in French literature and roomed with the poet Frank O’Hara. In 1953 Gorey published The Unstrung Harp , the first of his many extraordinary books, which include The Curious Sofa , The Haunted Tea-Cosy , and The Epiplectic Bicycle .
