Thomas Mallon’s “Yours Ever” is a collection of epistolary riches ranging from Lord Byron to Flannery O’Connor to Madame de Sévigné. Inviting, but still slightly forbidden.
This retelling of “The Canterbury Tales” by Peter Ackroyd has the familiar look and feel of a vintage book you might pluck from the shelves of the Strand.
I like the shock of orange against the red binding in David Byrne’s “Bicycle Diaries.”
Like so much of Lydia Davis’s work, I love the classic but offbeat sensibility of the cover for her “Collected Stories.”
At first glance, this collection of Rilke poems (translated by Edward Snow) looks like an old cookbook. And, if you flip through the pages fast enough and squint your eyes, the stanzas almost seem like lists of ingredients.
