Wanted: thoughtful suggestions for artwork and artists for the following books:- Schindler's Ark
- Vernon God Little
- Midnight's Children
Selecting art for our books is a rewarding process, and I love exploring the links, contrasts and questions thrown up by the pairings, even after the decision has been made. For example, what was it in
Margaret Atwood's novel that moved
Yoko Ono to contribute her drawing? Or how do our responses to the work of
Jo Ractliffe and
Colbert Mashile echo or contradict our response to
J. M. Coetzee's text?
As we plan the publication of new titles in this series, we want to ensure that future editions will offer a commentary as valuable and fascinating, with artwork to match the creativity contained in the world's greatest contemporary literature. We're currently looking for artists for the books listed above -
so get in touch if you think you know the perfect match!
