The Fool’s Journey cover

Pentagram, Austin, Texas, 2002

Description

The Fool’s Journey is Lynn Miller’s first novel. In it she spins a witty and satiric tale of sex, betrayal and revelation in academia. The main character is passed over for promotion as a result of maneuverings by her longtime lover; devastated, she eventually turns to tarot cards for guidance. This was a very low-budget job, so one of the challenges in creating the jacket art was that there was no money to pay for imagery. The solution was to greatly enlarge the woman’s face from an old ’50s-era magazine advertisement, and we obtained permission to use the antique tarot card of “The Fool” from an Italian tarot card company.
