THE LEARNERS

Chip Kidd's latest novel, a sequel to his previous work, THE CHEESE MONKEYS, is an inventively written story of a graphic designer in the early sixties. Narrator Bronson Pinchot, known for the TV show "Perfect Strangers," offers a fresh perspective and a perfectly played performance that captures the essence of Kidd's work. Pinchot assumes the personality of Happy, the story's protagonist, with such vigor that he seems the only possible choice to narrate the novel. His speech is clear and firm; his straightforward voice is as credible as it is relatable. A witty story told by an even wittier narrator is a perfect combination.
