{Cover} Art Appreciation: Bret Easton Ellis - American Psycho
”It always bothered me that the original cover of this book showed the main character’s face so clearly straight-on. In fiction covers, I always want to give readers the chance to create what the characters look like in their minds as they read.” -Chip Kidd

{Cover} Art Appreciation: Haruki Murakami - 1Q84
From this NPR article:
“The jacket is made of a semi-transparent vellum and holds part of the woman’s image within the lettering of the title. Underneath is the complimentary image on the binding, and together they ‘complete the reality.’ Even if you don’t know anything about the book when you first see it, you are forced to consider the concept of one person ‘stradling’ two states of being.”
Brilliant!
Murakami is one of my favorite living authors. His influence is evident in my short stories: Rats! and Paint.
