Joseph Sullivan gives a well-deserved rave to the cover art for Philip Roth’s forthcoming The Humbling. . . . Not sure how a movie can dramatize bad writing, but it seems that the documentary Bad Writing will try. . . . Album covers reimagined as beat-up paperbacks. (Via.) . . . A couple of RIPs for the literary web, one more belated than another: Wyatt Mason is done blogging for Harper’s, and Readerville is closing shop after nine years. . . . Lastly, Scott Pack posts two great pictures of Audrey Hepburn. This is not book-related, but I don’t care, and I don’t imagine you do either.
