The Faraway World by Patricia Engel
The compressed, high-waisted caps of Rainer are the star of Grace Han’s jacket design for The Faraway World. Tracked out, the long-legged letters stride through the flock of city doves as if on stilts.
The novel by Patricia Engel, best-selling author of Infinite Country, was published by Avid Reader Press, an imprint of Simon & Schuster:
Two Colombian expats meet as strangers on the rainy streets of New York City, both burdened with traumatic pasts. In Cuba, a woman discovers her deceased brother’s bones have been stolen, and the love of her life returns from Ecuador for a one-night visit. A cash-strapped couple hustles in Miami, to life-altering ends.
Art direction by Alison Forner. The small type is in Neue Helvetica Extended, with Bulmer used for Lauren Groff’s praise.
