@aral I like that illustration. Where's it from? I don’t see it in the article.

@mcnees @badastro Yep, he was Andreas Brown. He died in 2020. NYT Obit has a photo from around the time you would have met him: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/books/andreas-brown-dead.html

@mcnees @badastro The Gotham Book Mart used to be one of my favorite hidden gems in Manhattan, and it was basically Edward Gorey HQ. I used to love taking people up the small store's creeky stairs to the almost-always-empty second floor that was often used as a Gorey exhibition space filled with his original art. The owner was friends with Gorey and became executor of his estate when he passed.
