The cover of Roxane Gay’s AYITI reminds me of the opening credits for PANIC ROOM

  • A. D. Jameson

    • Which is also to say—

    —that the cover of Roxane Gay’s Ayiti reminds me of Saul Bass’s opening credits for North by Northwest.

    Update: Since Peter mentioned it in the comments:

    René Magritte, "The Voice of Space" (1928).

    If anyone else can think of other works in this vein, let me know and I’ll include it. We can make a long list…

    • A. D. Jameson is the author of five books, most recently I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING: STAR WARS AND THE TRIUMPH OF GEEK CULTURE and CINEMAPS: AN ATLAS OF 35 GREAT MOVIES (with artist Andrew DeGraff). Last May, he received his Ph.D. in Creative Writing from the Program for Writers at UIC.
