Inhaltsangabe
A hilarious debut novel that could only be described as a portrait of the designer as a young man. 'Show me something I've never seen before and will never be able to forget - if you can do that, you can do anything.' It's 1957, long before computers have replaced the trained eye and skilful hand. Our narrator at State University is determined to major in Art, and after several risible false starts, he accidentally ends up in a new class: 'Introduction to Graphic Design'. His teacher is the enigmatic Winter Sorbeck, equal parts genius, seducer and sadist. Sorbeck is a bitter yet fascinating man whose assignments hurl his charges through a gauntlet of humiliation and heartache, shame and triumph, ego-bashing and enlightenment. Along the way, friendships are made and undone, jealousies simmer, and the sexual tango weaves and dips. By the end of their 'Introduction to Graphic Design', Sorbeck's students will never see the world in the same way again. And, with Chip Kidd's insights into the secrets of graphic design, neither will you.

The Cheese Monkeys: A Novel in Two Semesters [Advance Uncorrected Proof]
Anbieter: Remarks Used Books, Pittsfield, MA, USA
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. Special Edition. Advance Reader Copy of Uncorrected Proof in paperback. Quite bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "A hilarious debut novel that could only be described as a portrait of the designer as a young man. 'Um---so what exactly is a Cheese Monkey?' Good question. But strictly off-limits. We can tell you that THE CHEESE MONKEYS is a witty and effervescent coming-of-age novel about headless waterfowl, fake plastic babies, and the basic tenets of graphic design. It's 1957, long before computers have replaced the trained eye and skillful hand. Our narrator at State U is determined to major in Art and after several risible false starts, he ends up by accident in a new class called Introduction to Graphic Design." [publisher copy] "Kidd's funhouse designs never fail to thrill. The same could be said of this unexpected, terrific novel by the designer himself. It's a pleasure to find that Kidd's writing is as meticulous and energized as his book jackets; still more a pleasure to discover in Kidd an irresistible comic voice that sounds so modern, and so right, even as it re-creates the undergraduate life of the late 1950s. THE CHEESE MONKEYS is, we realize, a manifesto for design itself. But it's more, too, thanks to Kidd's knack for disarmingly left-field observations. Like the provocative prof Sorbeck, Kidd, in this comic gem, teaches us a thing or two about how to look at the world."--Los Angeles Times. Pristine paperback ARC w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Quite presentable & collectible. Artikel-Nr. RUB2074
