I think Joseph would agree that one cannot judge a book's cover without considering its content.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-31404572624360101832009-09-25T09:35:25.216-05:002009-09-25T09:35:25.216-05:00This cover perfectly complements Vilar's voice...This cover perfectly complements Vilar's voice.

Her work is always full of deep thought and very distinctive and original in every sense of the work.<br /><br />I won this book and was immediately attracted to the cover. The folks at Other Press told me it was Carin and then it all made sense...

It's wonderful hearing how much thought goes into design--and this cover really does a terrific job.<br /><br />That said: I spent a couple hours with some writers friends the other day, and we were brainstorming possible subjects for memoirs that might sell. The right combination of grief and misery and prurient content. I thought we did a pretty good job, but we totally missed this one!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10466335.post-61536325524423948612009-09-24T01:25:31.629-05:002009-09-24T01:25:31.629-05:00What a great post.
