saareman 's review for:
Welcome to America
by Linda Boström Knausgård
Darkness Seeking the Light
Review of the World Editions English translation paperback (2019) of the Swedish language original [b:Välkommen till Amerika|30058417|Välkommen till Amerika|Linda Boström Knausgård|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1461974388l/30058417._SX50_.jpg|50470436] (2016)
I realize now that I first encountered Linda Boström Knausgård amidst the blur of 18 recent Nordic writers collected in [b:The Dark Blue Winter Overcoat & Other Stories from the North|36417302|The Dark Blue Winter Overcoat & Other Stories from the North|Sjón|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1508081321l/36417302._SY75_.jpg|58114098] (2018), but where her surreal fairy-tale The White-Bear King Valemon didn't have much of an impact on me.
This recent novella also didn't stand out because of the writer's name (which is almost camouflaged in dark blue letters over a dark green background on the cover), but rather due to the stark beauty of its cover design which caught my eye from halfway across the room at Hunter St. Books in Peterborough, Ontario where a single copy was on display at the New Releases table. World Editions actually spends 2 pages under On the Design giving background on the photography by Dana Menussi (the photo is of her niece poolside in Arizona) and the design of the book which is by their house designer [a:Tessa van der Waals|5321012|Tessa van der Waals|https://s.gr-assets.com/assets/nophoto/user/u_50x66-632230dc9882b4352d753eedf9396530.png].
review in progress, to be continued
