                                        Designed by Michael Kennard, the book cover for George Orwell's "nineteen eighty-four" features a minimalist, typographic design on a solid, opaque, deep forest green background. The backdrop is a uniform, dark, saturated green, devoid of patterns or grain. The title is positioned prominently in the center, rendered in a large, bright white, flowing cursive script. The letters feature thick, rounded strokes and smooth, continuous loops, creating a soft, handwritten appearance that stands out sharply against the green. Layered directly behind this text is a very large, semi-transparent version of the numerals "1984." Rendered in a light, muted gray, these numerals are set in a clean, modern sans-serif typeface and span nearly the entire dimensions of the cover, acting as a subtle, ghostly element that intersects with the white script. At the top edge, the author's name, "George Orwell," appears in the same white cursive script, though at a smaller size. At the very bottom, the phrase "a novel" is centered in a small, matching white cursive font. The composition is strictly centered and symmetrical, utilizing a limited palette of dark forest green, stark white, and light gray. There are no images or illustrations; the design relies entirely on the high-contrast relationship between the typography and the dark field. The lighting is flat and even, with no shadows, highlights, or gradients, resulting in a smooth, matte, two-dimensional graphic appearance.

Angel Down by Daniel Kraus is a high concept story about American soldiers in WWI encountering a fallen angel, written in ‘one sentence’ (no full stops and every paragraph beginning with ‘and’). The beer is a ‘C-Bomb’ West Coast IPA (brewed with cannabis) from Gales Brewery. “and Cyril Bagger considers himself lucky, he ought to be topped off, gone west, bumped, clicked it, pushing daisies, a new landowner, napooed, just plain dead, not only dead boy scattered around in globs…” #reading #literature #pulitzer #craftbeer

I'm sending these words so you can know where the story stopped for some time; it hasn't ended yet, but I think the sun has been rising on me too. I think I should thank you now, and let you go back to resting. The sun will be over the horizon soon, so I need to go back and finish the story.
