2666

The blog "FaceOut Books" has a report from Charlotte Strick, the graphic artist who designed Roberto Bolano's magnum opus 2066. She discusses her inspirations and sources the various bits of artwork used in the covers of the two editions. I was interested to learn that the illustration on the endpapers is by Albertus Seba. We had an enormous Taschen collection of his work in the store for a while: Cabinet of Natural Curiosities.--David E
