Found in the New Yorker

First, I loved this cover. I might have to frame this. I like the idea of climbing up to the clouds and over the obstacles of life up a staircase of books. I also like the imagery of the man as an adventurer, on safari among the stories, with the next step uncertain. I imagine that the stack will keep appearing to support his ascent.



But then I opened the magazine and this image grabbed my attention. It is part of a Ralph Lauren ad. I could not take my eyes off of it. This, you see, is precisely how I picture Edward. The smooth white skin, the detached air, the perfection, the formality. Sara thinks I'm way off, mostly because of the hair, but I really don't picture him with bronze hair. So, I'm curious to see how others picture Edward. Is there an actor or a face that you see when you read the books?
