i like that it's a very personal and insightful reflection into the relationship between the book cover and the bool, the book cover and the author, and the book cover and the reader. there's a lot of depth here about things that aren't apparent to the casual eye. quite fascinating read

As a part of a small publishing team, this honest and thought provoking piece really spoke to me on how we should be more mindful of how we design our books. Working in such a small team of artist creators, I feel it’s so much easier for the book designer and the author/artist to really create that perfect book cover. This connection is essential to really give birth to that perfect book: one that will speak to both readers and the writer. We should be mindful not to lose this as we grow and expand as a business. Book covers are not marketing tools alone but as Lahiri so eloquently states:
“A cover is a sort of translation, that is, an interpretation of my words in another language–a visual one.”

The clothing of this book is unappealing, I wonder if Jhumpa had any say in it.
