The cover image for this release of Out of Print is by Dhruvi Acharya. Titled ‘Painting in the Time of Corona, 11 April 2020, lockdown day 18’ (watercolour on paper, 50.8 cm by 36.2 cm), it is one of an extraordinary series that she began on March 22, 2020, the day of the Janata Curfew. By that time, Dhruvi had been in self-isolation for ten days. She soon challenged herself to try and complete a painting every day of lockdown. Each of the pictures is visually compelling and profoundly thought-provoking, an intense reflection of what she is going through, what we are collectively going through. The one on the cover, with its layered complexity and multiple stories struck us as a way to look from the bizarre reality of the present time to a set of tense, strong stories written before the pandemic.
