The Takeaway Effect

摘要

A few months ago,a London publisher relaunched its backlist of books by the Japanese cult author Haruki Murakami with a striking new set of covers. Now, I have always thought that previous British book-jacket interpretations of Murakami fell a long way short of the luscious surrealism and fantasy of John Gall's American paperback covers, particularly for The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle and South of the Border, West of the Sun, two Murakami books I very much admire.
