The Working Cover for Boris Vian's "To Hell With The Ugly" plus special announcement



This is the basic design by Tom Recchion for the cover of the TamTam Books edition of Boris Vian's "To Hell With The Ugly" (ET ON TUERA TOUS LES AFFREUX). This will come out shortly as we fine tune the graphics. Which will also have artwork by Jessica Minckley illustrating this rather naughty narrative.

On top of that, I am going to be putting chapter-by-chapter of "To Hell With The Ugly" on this website. There will be a new chapter every two weeks. Once i put a chapter up, I will remove the previous chapter. So in the sense there will be two versions of this novel. One in the traditional super designed edition with artwork and introduction by its translator Paul Knobloch. And the other as a serial of sorts for this blog. Let me know what you think.

Merci,
Tosh

love the illustration and design. like the idea of dual versions, exerts via a blog serve as a fitting modern alternative to a newspaper column. unfortuanately i missed the earlier chapters though so will have to wait for the print copy.

eagerly awaiting the publication,
