🥂 COVER REVEAL ✨ A LITURGY FOR THE ANONYMOUS by Lyonel Trouillot, translated from the French by Willard Wood.

🎨 Cover design by Jesi Kelley 🎨

Here is what Jesi says about this cover: “When I design book covers, especially for books in translation, I love to try incorporate elements from the author’s culture, without it feeling like misappropriation. For Black people in the diaspora this can be particularly tricky since we tend to use bright colors, humor and song when dealing with traumatic experiences. Used incorrectly, it might seem we are making light of a situation. For this title, I wanted to use bright colors that reflect Haiti’s vibrant culture, but I countered it with a rather serious portrait of a young man. Hidden in the cover is a symbol representative of an important part of Haiti’s culture. Can you spot it?”

🥂 COVER REVEAL ✨ THE SKY IS TOO VAST by Feurat Alani, translated from the French by Adriana Hunter.

🎨 Cover design by Daniel Benneworth-Gray 🎨

Here is what the designer has to say about this cover art: “The cover invites us to look up at the ominous silhouette of a plane drifting through the clouds, like the clues emerging from the mystery at the heart of the book. Who is up there, where have they been, when will they vanish out of sight again?”

🎨 Cover design by Kathleen DiGrado 🎨 Photograph by Linda Moro

Here is what the designer has to say about this book and designing its cover: “I love this beautiful book. Hoping to illustrate love and loss, I was thrilled to use Linda Moro’s gorgeous photograph depicting Kallifatides’ Olga. I chose a lovely sans-serif font so it would not detract from the image.”

🥂 COVER REVEAL ✨ THE SOUL OF OTHERS by Alba de Céspedes, translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein & Jenny McPhee

🎨Cover design by Kathleen DiGrado 🎨

Here is what the designer has to say about this book and cover design: “These are wonderful stories by Alba de Céspedes, who brilliantly dissects human nature. In searching for an image that could capture the essence of these stories, I landed on this photograph of a woman on a Rome street looking behind her, referencing the story ‘Doubt.' It was originally a modern image that I altered to give it a more vintage look.”

"Elaine Mokhtefi improbably found herself as an indispensable fixer for the Algerian independence movement in the 1950s and, after it separated from France in 1962, for the young Algerian republic, connecting its leaders with the revolutionaries and rebels who saw Algeria as a beacon for developing-world freedom movements. Ms. Mokhtefi died on Sept. 11 in Manhattan. She was 97." - The New York Times

Other Press proudly published the translation of her book, I WAS A FRENCH MUSLIM.

As a fixer for Algeria’s government, she befriended radicals and revolutionaries and helped the Black Panthers establish an international base in Algiers.
