Genesis by John Milton

isn't that done with things like the greeks?
and other old books?
i mean i guess if you were to equate translations to covers you'd get that too
after all there's a tangible difference between the writing of author x and author y even if the book they translate is the same the outcome will be tainted by their personal writing styles

well it is the case in some ways, for example you could treat translations as such, and also this is what shakespeare did

>If

They do (if they know they're safe from copyright issues)

They used to, ever heard of Don Juan?

I think Nabokov could've done an amusing take on Notes from Underground.

I'll admit, i'd be interested in seeing how McCarthy takes on Faulkner's work.

dream cover would be Joseph Conrad and Herman Hesse doing an exchange of texts.
>Conrad re-writes Steppenwolf or Siddhartha
>Hesse takes on Heart of Darkness or Lord Jim
