One of our editors remarked that your cover looked like an advent calendar, and I thought, that’s what every cover should feel like, the anticipation of what’s going to be inside. How did you come up with the idea of staging a kitchen?
I found the assignment inspiring: nothing too sweet or seasonal, no Santa, nothing too predictable. Drawing scenes from the everyday fascinates me. The isometric perspective had to be there too, so I can put as much as possible into in an illustration. I love to look in every corner of a room and peek through an open door or window. My idea was to look behind the scenes: the preparing and cleaning of the home for guests. The other—annoying—side of the holidays. So I thought showing a kitchen with all the cooking and shopping and setting the table, all this going on at the same time as the owner has to answer the door to receive parcels from the postman, would best illustrate the “Holidays.” Sophia Martineck, illustratrice berlinese, intervistata da Leanne Shapton, The New York Review of Books
auguro a tutti un buon Natale in cucine allegre, calde, disordinate, rumorose e odorose!
Un libro magico e meraviglioso. Con queste belle parole auguro a tutti un Buon Natale e un Felice Anno Nuovo. Al 2022!
The first season of Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” about a brassy
1950s housewife-turned-stand-up-comic, debuted last fall to swoony
reviews (including one from the The Times
which described Midge Maisel’s “bon mots rattling like ice in a
cocktail shaker”). Though the second season of the cult-favorite show
has just landed, many fans have hurtled through it at breakneck speed
and are already in withdrawal. If you’re one of them, we’ve got some
books for you to read. Gal Beckerman and Tina Jordan, New York Times.
