>>10763562
i mean, it is.

>>10763495
seems like it's quite fitting in tone and mood, on top of being striking. what's wrong with it?

anyway maybe you'd like pic related.

if you didnt like 2666 then i doubt we're gonna make much progress here. i thought it was a great book

I don't think is that misleading though, remember the Demonic penitent?

It feels apocalyptic, fucked-up, bleak, and yet poetic. Haven't read it myself, is it not like this?

>> No.10764033

>>10763922
most definitely like what you describe. with the apocalyptic part being subtle, not "rivers of lava and fire rain" but more like Holy shit this is fucked up and is a sign of the end.

Also has the virtue of being a completely awful cover.

The Brits surely are dull and tasteless even their book covers suck.

It definitely feels apocalyptic from what I read especially the whole Giant uncle thing

I really want this cover in a spanish edition.

Ir exists though, vintage edition, 2009.

That cover of GR isn't that widely available in the UK, anon. We have the rainbow rocket one.

You're not wrong though, a lot of book covers in the UK are poor compared to others. Always felt annoyed we got shafted by the large typeface covers of Cormac McCarthy's books. Those books are much more subtler than the covers would have you believe.

The Anagrama is ok because the color and the photo save it. Alfaguara edition is the biggest (literally) pile of shit out there.
