A Novel for Readers
The bold and boundlessly original debut novel from the Oscar®-winning screenwriter of Being John Malkovich, Adaptation, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and Synecdoche, New York has been longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize. This dyspeptic satire owes much to Kurt Vonnegut and Thomas Pynchon, propelled by Kaufman's deep imagination, considerable writing ability, and bull's-eye wit, according to The Washington Post. The New York Times Book Review described it as "an astonishing creation... riotously funny... an exceptionally good [book]," while NPR praised Kaufman as "a master of language... a sight to behold."
B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, a neurotic and underappreciated film critic, stumbles upon a hitherto unseen film made by an enigmatic outsider. Convinced that this three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece, which took its reclusive auteur ninety years to complete, will change his career trajectory and rock the world of cinema, B. knows it is his mission to show it to the rest of humanity. The only problem is that the film is destroyed, leaving B. as the sole witness to its inadvertently ephemeral genius, with only a single frame remaining from which he must somehow attempt to recall the lost masterwork.
Thus begins a mind-boggling journey through the hilarious nightmarescape of B.'s psyche, which is 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 self-imposed prison of aspirational victimhood and degeneratively inclusive language, B. scrambles to re-create the lost masterpiece while attempting to keep pace with an ever-fracturing culture of "likes" and arbitrary denunciations that are simultaneously his bête noire and his raison d'être.
Antkind is a richly layered meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence itself – the grain of truth at the heart of every joke. This searing indictment of the modern world is a bold and original debut novel that marks the arrival of a distinctive and powerful new voice in literature.
