She withstood nerveracking experiences: at a party for Kaufman at his parents house, on a visit to his childhood bedroompacked with bags of his teenage poems and elvis clippingsand as a passenger in a car he drove, no hands, while singing and trying to dance to radio music at 3 a.m. on an icy road. She was able to discover the truth behind the stories Andy Kaufman made up for interviewers and to discover the secret of his inspiration. What made you finally tell me all this? Hecht asked him at the end of their last meeting. Because you persevered, he said.This is a book of bizarre incidents and frequently hilarious conversations between one of our most fascinating performers and a writer of short stories who found the story of Kaufmans life and work to be out of this world and worth the trip. It will entertain the many fans of both the author and her subject, and through its surprising dialogue and surreal encounters, it paints an intense portrait of Andy Kaufman and explains how he came to do what he did.
