I’m a book cover snob, frequently giving star ratings to covers in addition to the texts themselves, plus i've also read Lahiri’s The Namesake, so this piqued my interest. it had some interesting reflections on the relationship between authors and their book covers that i’ve never considered before, but wasn’t all that memorable. for further reading, i highly recommend John Green’s video about the US cover for his book The Anthropocene Reviewed.
just for fun, here are some of my favorite book covers (links to the specific editions): Several People Are Typing by Calvin Kasulke, The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood, and No One Is Talking About This by Patricia Lockwood.
