Fresh out of college in the summer of 1961, Happy lands his first
job as a graphic designer (okay, art assistant) at a small
Connecticut advertising agency populated by a cast of endearing
eccentrics. Life for Happy seems to be -- well, happy. But when
he's assigned to design a newspaper ad recruiting participants for
an experiment in the Yale Psychology Department, Happy can't resist
responding to the ad himself. Little does he know that the
experience will devastate him, forcing a reexamination of his past,
his soul, and the nature of human cruelty -- chiefly, his own.
Written in sharp, witty prose and peppered with absorbing
ruminations on graphic design, The Learners again shows that Chip
Kidd's writing is every bit as original, stunning, and memorable as
his celebrated book jackets.
