I Kind of Knew Edward Gorey

David Macpherson knew the artist Edward Gorey. Well, he knew him a little bit. When David was a young man, he volunteered in the same place Edward Gorey did. This book is a memoir of that time in Cape Cod. It is also a meditation on the people we remember and the people we name drop. What makes a person worth name dropping? Is it acceptable to name drop an artist that you barely knew?
