A review by maddness22
The Clothing of Books by Jhumpa Lahiri

reflective slow-paced

4.0

As an author who publishes her own books, I guess I didn't realize the privilege of being able to clothe and identify my own words without considering how others would interpret and visually represent my writing. I agree that there often is too much distraction on most jackets these days - I gloss over blurbs and reviews in my efforts to identify the heart of the book. Not a bad quick read but I'm not sure why this needed to be fully published. It would make a nice article or blog post somewhere.
