Book Cover

The current book cover we have for "Things Fall Apart" was my absolute favourite over all the other ones. I feel like it's the most powerful and effective cover for a variety of reasons. Perhaps the biggest reason is it is a great representation of the book. I believe the cracked dirt on the cover is there as a representation of the "things falling apart" so to speak. The face is also powerful, undoubtedly it must be Okonkwo's judging from his description in the book, and it gives the reader an interesting idea of what an Okonkwo type male figure would look like. This cover is perhaps the most simple of all, yet the most moving of them all and it undoubtedly makes the best book cover of them all.
