    Grace Han’s jacket design for My Year Abroad received five mentions, two of which are reproduced here. David Litman comments:

    I’m a sucker for perspective type and dimensional design; this is probably my favorite. Love the shapes, the texture and the off-register colors. This feels big in such a fun, funky way.

    Stephen Brayda adds:

    So many layers to get lost in, but what stands out is Grace’s type choice: the round characters match the five circular shapes. My eyes jump around in the best way

    Chang-rae Lee’s new novel was published by Riverhead in February 2021.
