Mind the gap

“The secret is to begin,” wrote Mark Twain—and it’s true, because life is the art of beginnings. Many things are revealed at the start and then solidified. This also happens in art and literature. In this book, several female authors wrote an opening inspired by Monica Barengo’s illustrations. A different kind of picture book that lets the reader enjoy eight beginnings and imagine the rest.

Eight openings, by eight authors, accompany the illustrations of Monica Barengo.
