The most recent e-book by Musa Okwonga incorporates 1,000 rainbow envelopes
Each copy of In The End It Was All About Love, published by Rough Trade Books, is unique thanks to its hand-printed jacket by Tommy Davidson-Hawley
The artist worked on the covers in his Leeds studio, Prints of Thieves, which has worked for bands and musicians as well as designers and illustrators. Craig Oldham designed the jackets, and Davidson-Hawley mixed colored ink on sheets of paper before cutting them and then printing the text – meaning no two copies are alike.
In the book, Okwonga, who has published poems and published two books on football, tells the story of a man who travels from Berlin to a village on the border between Uganda and Sudan in search of his roots.
Along the way, Okwonga explores the many challenges of city life, the narrator's experiences with racism and thoughts about losing his father, and the difficulties of returning home.
The 1,000 limited edition copies of In The End It Was All About Love are available from Rough Trade Books online store at a price of £ 11.99. roughtradebooks.com
