THE ONES WHO DON'T SAY THEY LOVE YOU by Maurice Carlos Ruffin was named one of the “15 Best Book Covers of 2021” by the AV Club. They write: "This is the only cover on the list that doesn’t rely on imagery. Sure, there’s that fleur-de-lis inside the ‘o’ in ‘LOVE’—a hint at the New Orleans setting for Maurice Carlos Ruffin’s short stories—but that’s it. Instead what is most notable is the cover’s attractive typeface and intriguing layout. With the overlapping of the letters in ‘ONES’ and ‘DON’T,’ what at first appears straightforward and even staid is very subtly transgressed." One World published the novel on August 17, 2021.
