Besides pursuing a long and successful musical career, Joe Dolce is also an exceptionally good reviewer and essay writer. Crooked Timber is due for release on 1 August, containing dozens of intelligent and eclectic pieces. Whatever the topic, he tackles it from unexpected directions, with good humour and deep curiosity, and the reader leaves with much to ponder and a fund of new knowledge. From The Queen’s Gambit to the voyages of Captain Cook, the invention of the Kalashnikov to utopian settlements in Paraguay and Bob Dylan to Graham Greene, there isn’t a boring page in his book. He’s even thrown in a diverting short story exploring a strange after-life for Elvis Presley.
We worked with Joe on the cover design (artwork by Lyn Van Hek) and the interior layout. with images of the hardback cover below.
