Cover Design
Richard Brautigan is one of the great American short story writers of the twentieth century. This selection of his stories was translated into Icelandic by Þórður Sævar Jónsson. The book’s title (Revenge of the Lawn) is taken from a story in which a man sets fire to a tree. The open matchbox is a nod toward this image. On the back cover, the same matchbox appears but this time filled with spent matches.
