Frank Auerbach: thanks to Tate

Title: Worm That Eateth the Flesh 

Author: Sasha Menski

Publisher: Not known 

Source book: Pomfret Towers by Angela Thirkell (Barsetshire #6)

We learn absolutely nothing about Sasha Menski’s book Worm That Eateth Flesh, except that the dust jacket was designed by an artist called Bolikoff, a friend of the ghastly Julian Rivers.

As one of the characters in Pomfret Towers says “a jacket like that never sold a copy”. Perhaps the publisher should have gone with Frank Auerbach instead of Bolikoff?

See also Julian’s mother Hermione Rivers who is a successful romantic novelist.
