The bold and boundlessly original debut novel from the Oscarwinning screenwriter of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Synecdoche, New York.LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE A dyspeptic satire that owes much to Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon . . . propelled by Kaufmans deep imagination, considerable writing ability and bullseye wit.'The Washington PostAn astonishing creation . . . riotously funny . . . an exceptionally good [book].The New York Times Book Review Kaufman is a master of language . . . a sight to behold.NPRNAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR AND MENS HEALTHB. Rosenberger Rosenberg, neurotic and underappreciated film critic (failed academic, filmmaker, paramour, shoe salesman who sleeps in a sock drawer), stumbles upon a hitherto unseen film made by an enigmatic outsidera film hes convinced will change his career trajectory and rock the world of cinema to its core. His hands on what is possibly the greatest movie ever madea threemonthlong stopmotion masterpiece that took its reclusive auteur ninety years to completeB. knows that it is his mission to show it to the rest of humanity. The only problem: The film is destroyed, leaving him the sole witness to its inadvertently ephemeral genius.All thats left of this work of art is a single frame from which B. must somehow attempt to recall the film that just might be the last great hope of civilization. Thus begins a mindboggling journey through the hilarious nightmarescape of a psyche as lushly Kafkaesque as it is atrophied by the relentless spew of Twitter. Desperate to impose order on an increasingly nonsensical existence, trapped in a selfimposed prison of aspirational victimhood and degeneratively inclusive language, B. scrambles to recreate the lost masterwork while attempting to keep pace with an everfracturing culture of likes and arbitrary denunciations that are simultaneously his bte noire and his raison dtre.A searing indictment of the modern world, Antkind is a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence itselfthe grain of truth at the heart of every joke.
