The Clothing of Books by Jhumpa Lahiri
A deeply personal reflection from the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Namesake that explores the art of the book jacket from the perspectives of both reader and writer.How do you clothe a book? Probing the complex relationships between text and image, author and designer, and art and commerce, Lahiri delves into the role of the uniform; explains what book jackets and design have come to mean to her; and how, sometimes, "the covers become a part of me."
Jhumpa Lahiri was born in the United Kingdom to Bengali parents and spent her childhood and adolescence in the United States. She is the author of four narrative books: El buen nombre, El intérprete del dolor, Tierra desacostumbrada, and La hondonada, the last three of which were published by Salamandra. In other words, this is his first non-fiction work. She has won the Pulitzer Prize, the PEN/Hemingway Award, and the Frank O#Connor Award. In 2012, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and in 2015, he was awarded the National Medal of Humanities.
