读过 The Clothing of Books 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
【2024已读16】一本薄薄的小书，原本是作者用意大利文写就的演讲稿。谈及书封的含义及其带来的情感与思绪，而所有文字中回响着的则是对身份的思考和对精神自由的追求。非常自由联想，甚至特别精神分析。我还没读过作者的任何虚构作品，但已经预感到我会很喜欢她的小说。

The Clothing of Books [Book] Douban
How do you clothe a book?
In this deeply personal reflection, Pulitzer Prize–winning author Jhumpa Lahiri explores the art of the book jacket from the perspectives of both reader and writer. 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.”
