We're so thrilled to feature New York Times bestselling author Meg Wolitzer's book and art pairings in today’s Literary Gallery. Her novel The Interestings was the inspiration behind one of the three thoroughly cool pieces in our new collab with Riverhead Books. Working closely with the acclaimed Riverhead Design Labs, we transformed The Interestings' colorful cover into a covetable limited-edition art print, and now (who knew it was possible?) we're even more smitten with the cover's super vivid stripes and have a renewed obsession with Wolitzer's sparkling prose. For context: our own founder might be The Interestings No.1 Fan. She’ll be the first to tell you how well written it is, how ridiculously enjoyable it was to read. In fact, after she finished it, she moped about the office for a few days lamenting the Interestings-sized hole in her life. That’s love!
But Wolitzer doesn’t just have a way with words—looking over her insightful, evocative print and lit pairings, it’s clear she’s also got an intuition for art. Peep her picks below...

"Works of art might appear wholecloth before you on a wall, or else they might be slowly waded through, in a book. But I love the way, in each case, that you, in looking or reading, become fully and willingly absorbed into an entire new world the artist has built." —Meg Wolitzer, bestselling author of The Interestings and the forthcoming The Female Persuasion
