What is this cover supposed to signify? It looks like a dungeon map for Skyrim.
Please delete this. It's kind of embarrassingly obvious and you'll only end up looking more retarded the longer this stays up.

why, yes. it's a map for a dungeon. the book is called "Notes from Underground" after all.
Bump for interest

why does the term abstract give postmodern artist license to shitmall over a page? isn't abstract just a term for an immaterial thing? is the genre itself just a callous irony to laugh in the face of others, in so being that they produce a material thing with no meaning, when an abstract is an immaterial thing with meaning?
I thought it looked like an opening/entrance into his underground hole.
