Perhaps I'm missing something but I have no idea what is going on with this cover.

I'm a proud white conservative man of the heterosexual persuasion and this cover makes me sick to my stomach. She belongs to me and my white race.

Would make a fine Othello cover.

I hadn't seen these in person. until I went though some local bookstores several months ago. Context told me that they were legit but I hadn't really looked them up so I always held out a vague thought (hope?) that they were memes.

When I saw a row of them in person, I involuntarily blurted out: "Jesus Christ, the meme is real."

This is like that kid from the Kinder chocolate bars.

I had seen them, but I thought the Crime and Punishment was definitely a meme.
I'm 99% sure the covers are bad intentionally. Why just not skip the picture.
Taking a picture of actual people. I don't want some random person on my bookshelf, it's like those downtown billboard ads.

I absolutely detest this cover, man. It's not even so bad it's funny, it's just very ugly.

They're usually all on the same shelving unit too because the bookstore doesn't want them touching any of the real books.

Some of the covers - memes aside - aren't terrible, like their older editions. Plus, if it's originally written in English and cheap, you don't have to deal with the piss poor translations. Usually just avoid them like the plague though.

they would save so much money by not paying a shitty photoshop artist for the cover and instead either return to public domain artwork or have a blank cover

It's ugly but actually very fitting for the book, not the worst cover

The green is a bad choice though, it'd be more aesthetic if they chose a colour similar to the colour scheme of the image

I think they're doing that on purpose. Noone will give you a perfect product (cheap, good, flawless).

Reminder that they state in the foreword that Dante would have enjoyed the video game they made based on his works.

The blurb is just as bad as the cover. Brilliant.

What's wrong with Pelevin's cover? His books are outlandish and the cover reflects it perfectly

>>10024114

It would be a great "Richard Yates" cover
