At our 2009 fundraising event at the Boston Public Library, we unveiled the festival's commemorative poster, designed by celebrated book cover designer, Chip Kidd.
Augusten Burroughs, celebrated author of "Running With Scissors" and "A Wolf at the Table" was on hand for the festivities and introduced Chip Kidd, who has been called by USA Today "the closest thing to a graphic design rock star," and has designed covers for authors including Augusten Burroughs, Cormac McCarthy, Gish Jen, John Updike, David Sedaris and Michael Crichton.
god, with all I've read about Augusten and his "self-image" issues. I think he's really f***in HOT. That shirt just rocks! I know the hats are part of his trademark look, but he's so attractive without them, too. I hate having CELEBRITY CRUSHES, they're annoying! Also to not be shallow about this comment, Chip has done fantastic covers for Augusten!
