Chile: Isabel Allende: What's in a Cover
Written byDavid Sasaki
Don't judge a book by its cover. That is, unless you want insight into how major publishing houses try to market the translations of foreign writers. Noting the difference between Isabel Allende's original book covers in Spanish and their subsequent English releases, Posthegemony postulates: “Perhaps this is a tension for her publishers: whether to sell her as Virginia Woolf or as Gabriel García Márquez.”
