The Old Man Who Read Love Stories – reissue of a cult classic

Editorial design for this edition of the book by Luis Sepúlveda, illustrated by Joanna Concejo and published by Tishina. The story centers on a feline in the Amazon rainforest that is responsible for a man's death; the protagonist, an old man named Antonio José Bolívar, finds himself revisiting this memory while conversing with his sons. The custom cover lettering evokes human brutality while also referencing the romance novels read by the main character. The dust jacket unfolds to reveal various scenes from the book. Page numbers shift in position and color throughout the volume, evoking the flight paths of the Amazonian macaw—a key narrative motif.
