Gigi Little, book designer, tells here the story of creating the cover for the American edition of Like Every Form of Love. A lovely narrative rivaled only by her gorgeous cover!
Cover reveal for Like Every Form of Love by @padmav, published in the US by @713Books. It was such fun to work on this with the author and with editor @thinkhasie. I wrote about the process on my blog at: utomniabene.blogspot.com/202…

My interview with the lovely @padmav went live on @leyendolatamblg today! In it we discuss class as a barrier to translation, how she fell in love with Brazil by way of music, and the experience of retranslating a Brazilian classic leyendolatam.com/in-conversa…
Brazil’s Adelice Souza blurs the boundaries between drama, prose, and “real life” in her eery existential fiction.
@padmav's haunting English translation illuminates the psychological dislocation that drives two actresses to their breaking point.
