A monochrome book cover illustration. Linework is in white against a blue background. To the left, a 17th-century man with a high collar writes with a large feather quill on a large piece of paper in his right hand. To the right, a woman in period dress, arms akimbo, stares up at the man. Across the illustration, at the top, in yellow reads "John Barth"; below it, in small black writing, reads "Author of The Floating Opera and The End of the Road". Across the middle reads "The Sot-Weed Factor", again in yellow.
