The cover has been unveiled for Emma Straub’s forthcoming novel, Modern Lovers. We’ve embedded the full image for the jacket design above—what do you think?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Straub expressed how much she likes the cover and how “it conveys movement, and action, and all the frenetic possibility of sidewalk life. This book is about all the daily drama of the human experience, of what happens when you’re knocked slightly off your axis but still in your own walls and routines, still bumping into your neighbors, still doing your thing.”
Rachel Willey served as the book designer and Leah Goren created the illustration. Riverhead Books, an imprint at Penguin Random House, has scheduled the release date for May 31, 2016.
