    Ethical Aspects of Animal Husbandry
    by Craig Terlson

    A collection of short stories where the humour runs dark and the slipstream bubbles up.

     

    ...imagine if Raymond Carver called up George Saunders and Joe Lansdale, and they all went drinking with Neil Gaiman.

    “… it's clear that Terlson is way ahead of the curve in terms of crafting an engaging premise that reaches for elevated territory and reinvents enduring archetypes of action and suspense.”  J. Schoenfelder


    "Sometimes brutal, often demanding and always complex, this novel will repay the reader who likes their assumptions challenged and is happy to walk away from a book with minor questions unanswered but the big ones definitely dealt with! It’s likely to satisfy those who enjoy Hammet and/or Philip K Dick and who like their fiction very noir indeed."   Kay Sexton

     

    "I love a novel that you can't put down, and this is one of them."  L. Cihlar

Chip Kidd

DateThursday, April 5, 2012 at 05:29PM

Merging my passions in this post - as well as writing and illustrating, I am a graphic designer (I even teach the stuff).

I try to get my students excited about the history of design, and notably the rogue's gallery of famous designers. I think a lot of designers would agree that Chip Kidd changed book design. Authors such as John Updike had as part of their contract that Kidd would design their covers.

Turns out Kidd is a pretty decent writer as well - The Cheese Monkeys is a romp (did I just say romp? Yes, I did.) And it out Mads Mad Men.

Rather than trying to spin more Kidd-esque witticism's, just watch him in this Ted talk, on what makes great book design.

P.S. Kidd, design my novel please. You can use ink and everything.
