The Learners: A Novel

Chip Kidd

This is Chip Kidd’s follow-up to The Cheese Monkeys. Continuing the story of our nameless narrator after they leave art college and venture into the world of advertising in the 1960s. Meandering through landing a dream job and the day-to-day life working in an art studio. Along the way, the character, now referred to as Happy loses a close friend and takes part in the famous Milgram Experiment at the nearby Yale University.

It’s a great little read.
