    The cover of Julia Bassenger's book features a graphic in shades of gray and blue depicting a factory site. On the left is a low building with a chimney behind it, and on the right is a larger building with boarded-up windows and a banner reading “Nazis raus” [Nazis out]. Both buildings are covered in graffiti. Young people are moving around the site, and a large rat is depicted on the right in the foreground. The author's name is given in the upper third, and the title of the novel is written on a banner in orange that spans the entire width.
