Description

"Cultural Slag is a collection of light verse, prose pieces and black-humor drawings by the creators of Scrap Irony, a collaboration hailed by the New York Times as an "uncommonplace book of bright verse and lively prose." Laughing over the absurdities of our times, Miss Lamport takes us from New York statues to foreign ruins, from Broadway abysses to transportation traps, from musical soup to political nuts. Flagrant indulgence in exotic words (did you know that larks flew not in common flocks but in exhaltations?) is balanced by solid satire of our art forms, our critics and any cultural clinkers that have rolled her way.

Mr. Gorey's style has been variously described as macabre, Edwardian, ghoulish, appropriately antic, superb, charming. To embellish this volume he has again created the perfectly right drawings that are treasures in themselves.

Felicia Lamport is the author of Mink on Weekdays as well as Scrap Irony. Her work has been published in Harper's, The Saturday Evening Post, the New York Herald Tribune, Show, Life, The New Yorker and other magazines. She lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Edward Gorey is well known for his slender and elegant series of illustrated fables, of which The Hapless Child, The Vinegar Works, The Remembered Visit are only a few."
