„Vorsicht, dieses Buch kann Spuren von Franz Kafka enthalten. Und dazu ganz viel Sehnsucht. Und Entwurzelung. Hingetupft, ohne zu übertreiben. Erzählerisch mit großer
Ökonomie gesetzt, präzise und sinnlich.“ – Alf Mayer, Strandgut Frankfurt

                                        What’s a book you never finished but still think about?

                                        I was thrifted shopping at my favorite local spot about 7 years ago. My belly was stretched to an enormous size and I walked with a slight waddle. I casually walked through the tight isles recalling other times I have visited. Different seasons ran through my mind somehow tucked silently amogst the books. A quiet memory only I can see.

                                        Soon a book caught my eye. It featured a butterfly on the cover, a creature that has always been in my top favorites. I read the back hastily, knowing if I like the cover I am likely to get it regardless.

                                        “A man by the name of Henri Charrière, nicknamed “Papillon is wrongfully convicted and his thoughts turn to one thing, escape.”

                                        The plot intrigued me despite the heaviness it implied, although no where near what I assumed it would be. I brought it home and set it on my shelf, happy with my choice.

                                        While on maternity leave I grabbed the book hoping to give it a good read and return it to its rightful place. It would seem that the story line did not fit the current mood. I suppose I was looking for something more casual at the time. So, I returned it to my collection and choose another. And there it waits for another time and another place. A different mood or rather, a different season.

                                        I think about it from time to time, remembering how it became mine and the tiny sweet memory it still holds. One day I will return and learn all about Papillon and his great escape. Until then, it patiently waits for my return.

                                          The book cover for Ira Levin’s "Rosemary's Baby," featuring art by Paul Bacon, features a textured, cream-colored background with bold red and dark navy blue elements. The title is displayed in a large, stylized, red cursive font that slants upward from the center left toward the top right. Directly above the script, "A Novel by IRA LEVIN" appears in crisp, red capital letters. Centered below the title is a quote from Truman Capote in a small, black serif font: “A darkly brilliant tale of modern devilry that, like James’ TURN OF THE SCREW, induces the reader to believe the unbelievable. I believed it and was altogether enthralled.” In the bottom left corner, red text reads "BY THE AUTHOR OF A KISS BEFORE DYING."

The lower half contains a dark navy blue woodcut-style illustration of an ornate, multi-story building with intricate facades, rounded balconies, pointed gables, and sharp, decorative spires. Within one upper window, a pale white silhouette of a figure or creature leans out from the darkness. Using heavy lines and dense shadows, the illustration creates gothic, ominous architectural depth. All colors are applied as solid, flat shapes without gradients. The lighting is stark and binary, producing high contrast between the opaque navy blue structures and bright white highlights that trace the sharp edges of the architecture and the silhouetted figure.

                                                      Photography changed Victorian ideas about evidence, identification, and police observation.

                                                      Detective fiction responded by creating figures such as Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Bucket, whose powers seemed almost technological.

                                                      Supposedly mechanical reasoning could not free him from gender prejudice.

                                                      The problem remains familiar: surveillance technology can magnify the assumptions embedded within it.
