In a bizarre twist of fate, there is an excellent book about book cover design, The Look of the Book by Peter Mendelsund and David J. Alworth, that includes, for reasons beyond my comprehension, one of my midcentury forgeries, for Pulp's "Common People." https://t.co/n25ruJhMZT

One of the weird things about The Handmaid's Tale is the depth of humanity it grants the monsters in its story. I can't imagine Marjorie Taylor Green or Lauren Boebert having the complex inner life of an Aunt Lydia or Serena Joy.
