Retocado
Novel cover in two-colour lino-cut, the hard noon shadow of a wrought-iron balcony across a white wall, a pot of red geraniums, black and red, the copy 'La hora de la siesta' in hand-cut capitals and 'Carmen Aguirre' small beneath it. The cover artwork alone fills the frame flat and square-on: no book, spine or other words, no quotation marks.
