It works on the page, but every time I said it aloud, people gave me a sort of politely puzzled look. * Marrow Fair: the name of a key location in the story. Are we talking about sports? (We are not talking about sports.) * The Starter: There’s a premonition of Sourdough there, but it was too opaque. * The Suitcase Clone: a cool title! Unfortunately, it came to pass that the number of suitcase clones in this story is zero. This one went by different guises, draft to draft: Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore had its title fixed from the start. The process of naming this book was new to me! Mr. Now you know to expect ferment, and exuberance, and strangeness. (I really could not be happier that animated covers have become a 21st-century book marketing requirement.) The scintillating bâtard-beam is thanks to FSG’s Tyler Comrie.
I’m biased, of course, but that doesn’t make it any less true.
That there above is by Rodrigo Corral, the best designer of book covers working today.
