A brown envelope with a red and white sticker that says: AB Athenaeum Boekhandel Amsterdam

Cover of a book, the background is off-white and has the following text in black: The Book of Disappearance Ibtisam Azem & ¶ My mother put on mismatched shoes and ran out of the house. Her curly hair was tied back with a black band. The edge of her white shirt hung over her gray skirt. Fear inhabited her face. making her blue eyes seem bigger. She looked crazed as she roamed the streets of Ajami, searching for my grand mother. Rushing. as if trying to catch up with herself. I followed her out. When she heard my footsteps. she looked back and gestured with her broomstick-thin arm: go back! Translated by Sinan Antoon

It is always a pleasure to get post from @athenaeum.nl 🤩 There is another edition of #TheBookOfDisappearance but the one from @andotherstories.bsky.social has the best cover.
