Just as was the case with NME1, the cover of New Malaysian Essays 2 features a work by a living Malaysian artist. (click to enlarge!)
The book will launch early next month, Insya-Allah, and it will be the thickest and most expensive Matahari Books title so far, but a free copy goes to the first person who can identify the artist*, name of artwork and year!
Just post your answers here (with your name) and we will get it all sorted.
* The artist is not allowed to take part.

For getting artist and title correct, Ezrena wins! I know where you work so I will drop off a copy ;-)
"it will be the thickest...Matahari Books title so far"
more writers?
longer essays?
or thicker paper?
-- burhan
10 essays as opposed to 6. Average length probably shorter than NME1. Erm, paper should be of similar thickness :-)
My answer:
HARI JADI
by Yee I-Lann
Year: 2002
kimster :)
to be more precise, it's
HARI JADI (2/4)
by Yee I-Lann
Year: 2002
I think it's 1 of 4 artwork from the Malaysiana Series which the artist did in collaboration with Pakard Photo Studio.
yay! yay! thanks amir! :D
why Matahari books cover is better than any Dewan Bahasa Book cover? ini tak boleh jadi man....:)

I bought NME1 since my lecturer wrote an essay there! I will still support NME2...can't wait for it! Nice cover too! Unique
If you mean Sonia, well, she makes a cameo appearance in NME2 even though she didn't write anything!
What a stunning cover! Brilliant idea! Who's the art director, let me kiss his feet.
Are those original vintage pictures bought from one old-time photo studio? Or new shots, art directed?
Either way, it's brilliant.
Do come to the book launch on 4 July and you can meet both the artist and designer. Both are women but surely not averse to having their feet kissed!
sangat-sangat suka cover ini..
Oh, OK...Yee I-Lann! Of course!
I will gladly kiss her feet if she can sell me the full size photographic print!
The layout is OK only. But the photos are so cute, can die.
