Intelligence for Dummies

Ze Books, a hardcover trade book series founded by Michael Zilkha, celebrates the cultural impact of seminal artists and writers of the past fifty years. Thus far, the series includes semiautobiographical unpublished writings of Glenn O’Brien and Nick Flynn. Inspired by Zilkha’s seminal music label, Ze Records, as well as Ze Books’ position as a literature mix tape, the design of each volume switches between multiple paragraph layouts to constantly stimulate the reader.
