Book Covers of Note, May 2024

Dan

May 28

I hope you're keeping safe and well. Between work trips and sales conference it's been a few weeks for me, and there are a lot of covers this month, so I am going to stop prattling and let you get straight to the post...

Another Word for Love by Carvell Wallace; design by Rodrigo Corral (MCD / May 2024)

Birding by Rose Ruane; design by Charlotte Stroomer; photograph by Kelsey McClellan (Little, Brown / May 2024)

I feel like there was another ice cream book cover recently and that somehow Ben Denzer has manifested this.

Blue Ruin by Hari Kunzru; design by John Gall; painting by Chad Wys (Knopf / May 2024)

John Gall also designed the cover of Hari Kunzru's previous novel Red Pill.

Challenger by Adam Higginbotham; design by Pete Garceau (Avid Reader Press / May 2024)

Coexistence by Billy-Ray Belcourt; design by Kelly Hill (Hamish Hamilton / May 2024)

Dead Animals by Phoebe Stuckes; design by Will Speed (Hodder & Stoughton / April 2024)

Evenings and Weekends by Oisín McKenna; design by Jo Thomson (HarperCollins / May 2024)

Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon; design by Gregg Kulick (Henry Holt / March 2024)

I was trying to think what this cover reminded me of, and then I remembered this.

The Great State of West Florida by Kent Wascom; design by Jeff Miller / Faceout Studio (Grove / May 2024)

Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck; design by John Gall (New Directions / May 2024)

This is the cover of the newly released US paperback. John Gall also designed the cover for the hardback, published by New Directions last year. Author Jenny Erpenbeck and translator Michael Hofmann recently won the 2024 International Booker Prize with Kairos.

Kilworthy Tanner by Jean Marc Ah-Sen; design by David Drummond (Esplanade Books / May 2024)

This composition brings to mind David Pelham's covers for J. G. Ballard. (On a semi-related note, air-brushed covers are probably overdue a revival. Or is it a dying art now?)

Kittentits by Holly Wilson; design by Eli Mock (Zando / May 2024)

Like Love by Maggie Nelson; design by Suzanne Dean (Vintage / May 2024)

Suzanne Dean also designed the cover of Bluets by Maggie Nelson.

Loneliness & Company by Charlee Dyroff; design by Mia Kwon (Bloomsbury / May 2024)

Love Junkie by Robert Plunket; design by Oliver Munday (New Directions / May 2024)

Olive Munday bringing his A game.

Monsters, Martyrs, and Marionettes by Adrienne Gruber; design by Tree Abraham (Book*hug / May 2024)

The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley; design by Alison Forner; typography by Andrew Footit (Avid Reader Press / May 2024)

The Novices of Lerna by Ángel Bonomini; design by Sarah Schulte (Transit Books / May 2024)

Perfume & Pain by Anna Dorn; design by Math Monahan (Simon & Schuster / May 2024)

Just so much pink this month!

The Red Grove by Tessa Fontaine; design by Sara Wood (Farrar, Straus & Giroux / May 2024)

The Skunks by FIona Warnick; design by Beth Steidle (Tin House / May 2024)

Supplication by Nour Abi-Nakhoul; design by Emma Dolan (Strange Light / May 2024)

Can anyone tell me who designed the cover of the UK edition of Supplication for Influx Press? I'd love to include it in next month's round-up when it's published.

The Z Word by Lindsay King-Miller; design by Andie Reid (Quirk Books / May 2024)
