After 15 years of designing more than 1,500 book jackets at
Knopf for such authors as Anne Rice and Michael Chrichton, Kidd has
crafted an affecting an entertaining novel set at a state
university in the late 1950s that is both slap-happily funny and
heartbreakingly sad. The Cheese Monkeys is a college novel that
takes place over a tightly written two semesters. The book is set
in the late 1950s at State U, where the young narrator, has decided
to major in art, much to his parents' dismay. It is an
autobiographical, coming-of-age novel which tells universally
appealing stories of maturity, finding a calling in life, and being
inspired by a loving, demanding, and highly eccentric teacher.
