Book Cover.

The critical English writings of charismatic Kannada writer, S.K. Desai as compiled and edited by his one-time student G N Devy gave us the opportunity to design the book cover of a serious literary work.

The publication, expanding on Desai’s thoughts on British fiction, Indian drama and poetry, literary criticism and literary values in Indian literature; was envisioned as a tribute, and a sombre palette of colours and textures chosen to depict the anxiety, conflict and tensions that Desai expressed through his critical writings.
