Description:
Cover for a memoir based on Loree Rackstraw's friendship, relationship and correspondence with Kurt Vonnegut.
The design features an excerpt from one of Vonnegut's letters to Rackstraw in which he's encouraging her to write a play because they're only "About 100 pages, and a lot of every page is white space."
Second images shows the full jacket layout.

Great cover, Alex. Is Vonnegut's letter at the top the original?
Alex Camlin said on October 03, 2011
Thanks Gregg. Yes, that's a scan of the end of a letter that the author received from Vonnegut. That's his signature too, though it may have been from a different letter in the author's archive.

Love this one, Alex. Really sharp. I've just posted it at The Jacket Museum.
