33 Joan Didion Book Covers, Ranked - The List You Never Knew You Always Needed

http://lithub.com/33-joan-didion-book-covers-ranked/

... I was surprised to realize that Joan Didion has very few fantastic book covers. I really don’t understand it. They’re rarely horrible, and some are iconic (mostly because of what’s inside) but they’re usually quite boring: just plain-text covers, or sometimes strange collages, or sometimes (often better) old photos of Didion herself. So with that in mind, here are a few of her best—and a few of her worst. NB that I haven’t ranked all of her covers—there are many varieties on many a theme—but instead chose notable and representative versions. And necessarily, these are the aesthetic preferences of one woman—and I found some of them quite difficult to compare, spread as they are over so many decades and styles—so feel free to argue for your own favorites below.
