Originally published in 1963, The West Wing is one of Edward Gorey’s classic books. This wordless tale unfolds through 31 mysterious drawings that carry the viewer from room to roo m via long corridors. Peeling wallpaper hangs to the floor, a candle held by invisible hands casts light into the dark, and odd characters appear unbidden. The viewer wonders: What’s haunting this building? And who left that boulder on the table? First released as part of The Vinegar Works: Three Volumes of Moral Instruction (which included The Gashlycrumb Tinies and The Insect God) this book is undoubtedly a cautionary tale. Stop. Do not enter. Unless you dare to find out what’s happening in The West Wing. Show more
