How do we judge a book cover? Are book covers like the clothing that we
choose to wear? What do 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 to the shock of seeing one of her own
jackets unfaithfully adorning a different book, Lahiri analyzes what jackets mean
to her, what happens when they don't seem right, and how, sometimes, 'the
covers become a part of me, and I identify with them.'
