Pavel Mrnous
from Bratislava, Slovakia
made four books covers
for a series titled
Echoes of Surrealism.
Choosing famously
tripped out novels,
Mrnous created
his own illustrations
to accompany
the literature.
Drawings like
carriages with feet,
wine-pouring organs,
and camera heads.
It's a steampunk affair
that reimagines some
of my favorite books
like Trout Fishing
in America
by Richard Brautigan,
and Froth of the Daydream
(aka Mood Indigo)
by Boris Vian.
I need to check out
the remaining two
(English translations)
by Russian author
Mikhail Bulgakov
and French author
Raymond Queneau.
