Chip Kidd is known for his work in the design and literary worlds. His book jacket designs for Alfred A. Knopf (where he has worked since 1986) have helped spawn a revolution in the art of American book packaging. In 1998 he was made a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale, and in Fall 2003 Newsweek included him in its first-ever issue devoted to design. "The Cheese Monkeys" (Scribner, 2001), Kidd’s first novel, was a national bestseller as well as a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. His second novel, "The Learners," was published February 2008. This event is free and open to the public, and a book signing will follow the lecture. Free parking available on site.

A student in my history class alerted me of this event. I saw him last year and he is absolutely hilarious.
And it's free!
