After a hot week like this one, you’ll wanna dive right into the pool on the cover of this week’s pick, Petty Business.
Petty Business, by Yirmi Pinkus and translated by Evan Fallenberg and Yardenne Greenspan, is a tragic-comic novel about a large, dysfunctional, well-to-do family in early nineties Tel Aviv. While the cover is enticing us to dive in right away, you’ll have to wait to November to dig in further (November 15th to be exact). We’ll be ready for another dose of summer-themed covers by then, surely.
