Samuel Zamarripa’s debut novel, The Spectacle of Let: The Oliet and Obit, embarks on a literary journey through the imaginative work of his protagonist, Otto Cristóbal Almeida, and his mysterious manuscript, 'The Voice of the Looking Mountains', a book within a book. A gospel of fantastic spirituality and abiding love, The Spectacle of Let: The Oliet and Obit, reimagines the marvel of Creation and the unbound possibilities of a single word.

In his second novel, The Spectacle of Let: The Soul of a Miracle, romance writer Alicia Caliópa Almeida travels to Mexico to complete a story, an unfinished novel by her late husband, Otto. An intimate memoir and tale within a tale, The Spectacle of Let: The Soul of a Miracle, retraces the emotional journey of Alicia through the pain of an untimely death, the angst of carnal betrayal, and the rise of her irrepressible intuition—an inkling that Otto’s incomplete book is not what it seems.

Sharing the same cover design concept, our cover cooks created multifaceted covers for both books which concurrently explore multiple levels of reality. These all-encompassing stories are visually translated into layered, exuberant collages of images that convey the multifaceted experiences and realities that conform both novels. The miscellany of typefaces adds to the weaving poetry in the tradition of Latin American magical realism.
