The past couple of days have brought the expected slew of John Updike tributes, including one from our Alumni Association colleague Alan Janesch. Today, the Web magazine Slate offers a few more, one of which is penned by Penn State alumus Chip Kidd ’86. Kidd, the celebrated book-jacket designer, writes about his experiences working with the late author (and fellow native son of Shillington, Pa.) on a number of projects. It’s pretty cool insight — one great artist on another.
