The cover of this year’s Fiction Issue, “On the Same Page,” by Sergio García Sánchez. NewYorkerCovers
When the main branch of the New York Public Library was dedicated, on May 23, 1911, John Alden Dix, the governor of New York, hailed it as “the generator of moral and intellectual energy.” For the cover of the July 10 & 17, 2023, Fiction Issue, Sergio García Sánchez captures a book’s dynamic power by illustrating the interplay between a world in motion and a mind in rapture.
The thing that amazes me about New York City is the tremendous variety of human typologies, races, religions, aesthetics. . . . So I could not describe the citizens of the Big Apple with a single set of animals. The city is, instead, an enormous zoo in which lions and gazelles, elephants and mice, dogs and cats, seagulls and pigeons—and I suppose some worms—coexist.
The girl on the cover reminds me of myself when I was young, growing up here in Spain. Many times, I couldn’t wait to get a book or a comic book from the small public library nearby. I would begin reading at the door, or on my way home. I once read the entire “Adventures of Tintin” collection in one sitting. My relationship with libraries persists to this day.
We certainly agreed on how it should look, although I must say it is always a pleasant surprise to see the finished color. For this piece, Lola thought the colors should be very faint and transparent so that the oxygen could be perceived as just another element. As the reader reads, time has stopped, creating a parenthesis of peace.
