THE GOLDEN HOUSE - Salman Rushdie

Today we are very pleased to share the jacket for the new novel by Salman Rushdie.

We commissioned Jon Gray to create this striking design for Salman Rushdie’s timely novel about identity, truth, terror and lies.

Jon said: ‘The Golden House is the story of the rich and powerful Golden Family and their rise and fall in New York. At the centre of the book is the family mansion in downtown Manhattan. The opulent bird-cage seemed like a good way to represent both the family and their lives, and turning it into a New York townhouse seemed too good an opportunity to miss. It was such fun to make! The open door and scattered feathers hopefully hint at something else, without giving too much away. Printing the fine bars of the cage over the type gives the cover some depth and helps to integrate the very flat illustration. I loved this book and I’m very pleased with the way the cover turned out.’
