Author: Chip Kidd
“Do you see? Good is Dead.” These words permeate Chip Kidd’s first novel, The Cheese Monkeys. A mash-up of non-fiction autobiography and fictional narrative, the novel is a dark comedy of sorts exposing the reasons why a person becomes an artist and how one survives it throughout college. Read this for a good laugh and the next time you say a piece of art is “good”, you might reconsider your choice of adjective. For those interested, The Learners follows this novel as Kidd’s second novel.

Thanks Stephanie! I see that we don't have this book but the public library does (students can use their UND IDs to check out books at the public library once they've "activated" their card at our library).
We will buy both Chip Kidd books for the popular reading collection -- any student and especially an art student would probably identify with them.
