Goulash is a hilarious novel about a man’s quest for a home in a place full of challenges and lots of beer—Prague, 1998. Wonderful dialogue, endearing characters, and a deep sense of the historical forces at work combine in all the best ways to make this story really delectable.

— Jessica Francis Kane, author of This Close and The Report

For the jacket design, Janet Hansen lets a gigantic beer tsunami wash away Prague’s Old Town Hall. The typography is positioned in this sea of orange. Hansen combines Las Vegas Fabulous, a nostalgic 1950s script from House Industries made in 2001, with caps from the whimsical Windsor Extrabold Condensed.
