The Cheese Monkeys
From my understanding "The Cheese Monkeys" is about a boy who goes off to college and finds himself in college. FRom The book it selfs seems like a puzzle that is made to make the reader think and remind us of what we do see in Chipp Kidds eyes. From the first pages of the book i enjoy how he describes waiting in line for hours and then the course selector chippy asks him what classes he is taking. He talks Biblically torturing the man, which I found hilarous because I have felt like that after standing in line forever. But what I noticed through my critical lense was the references to south american revolution. I think he refers to south America frequently because I believe that he himself is rebelling by going outside his normalcy.

Interesting connection to your lens. I love how Chip Kidd gives us an insight into what's going on in his head. I know that he is a well known graphic designer and book cover artist. I guess he just wanted to share his perspective of graphic design with the world and out of his creative genius he gave birth to the Cheese Monkeys.
