Book Summary
About the Book: The Clothing of Books
How do we judge a book cover? Are book covers like the clothing that we choose
to wear? What they say about us? And what is it like to have your clothing
selected for you? These are the questions at the heart of this thoughtful
meditation on the art of the book jacket, from acclaimed, bestselling author
Jhumpa Lahiri. Exploring her relationship with covers--both as a writer and as a
reader-Lahiri probes the complex relationship between text and image, author and
designer, art and commerce. From her lasting affection for the specific editions
of classic works she read in college
