Terdedah: 7 Artists in Search of a Cover

Shahnon Ahmad's novel Terdedah (1965) has not been reprinted in decades. This rambunctious satire is about a young widow with two lovers. Why hasn't the book been seen for so long? Did it "dedah" (reveal or expose) too much? Amir Muhammad asks seven artists how they would design a cover of Terdedah if it were reprinted today. Through Zoom, they discuss how the novel can be presented visually. In an unfortunate twist, one of the artists disappeared after agreeing. So this artist is replaced by ChatGPT. The six human artists are Anderson Ee, Fahmi Mustaffa, Hannah, Mark Lee See Teck, Syuq Tone and Yante Ismail.
