One of the reasons I read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter is because I was sort of enchanted with the photo of McCullers on the cover:

As I recall, the author photo of Arundhati Roy on the cover of The God of Small Things made her look very arch and pretty and made a definite sexual appeal. I didn't masturbate to it, though. Nor to any other author photos that I can recall.

That's not what Louise Erdrich's author photos look like at all.

What ever happened with the child abuse allegations w/ her and Dorris (I know he killed himself)?
