[As Arthur explains in this rewarding litt’l video, he discovered the true beauty of Post-it Notes while gasping for breath in a creatively stifling office. By doodling and drawing his way through the day, he kept some semblance of sanity, observing that, “If art can’t make your life more bearable, then I don’t know what good it is.”
The drawings led to a reading series centered around Post-its stories – and then to a nationwide bit on NPR’s This American Life, followed by the book.
Subtitled 20 Stories of Youthful Abandon, Embarrassing Mishaps, and Everyday Adventure, each one – from “A-list contributors” such as Andrew Bird, John Hodgman, Starlee Kine, Chuck Klosterman, David Rakoff, Kristen Schaal – satisfyingly unfolds in words and pictures created on good ol’ Post-it Notes.]
