The longer I live with this book, the harder I find it to make a mark on it. So I thought I'd try a reversible action: a new jacket. This uses the idea of the tri-lingual artefact (French novel, German translation, English reader) and uses the closing line 'Deaths, seed and bread grew of the earth'. The new dust jacket covers up the book's rather beautiful cloth binding and I don't know if it will be part of the final work, but makes it feel like a new object and therefore one I might possibly alter in more permanent ways.
