Antkind: A Novel

"In screenwriter and director Charlie Kaufman’s debut novel Antkind, the film critic protagonist is the only person to see what he believes to be the greatest film of all time – and then the lone copy is destroyed in a fire that also injures him and erases much of his memory. He tries to re-create the film based on a lone surviving frame. The quest takes readers through the darkest corners of the protagonist’s mind and to the front of an apocalyptic war. This chaotic novel is a remarkable experience, especially for fans of Kaufman’s films such as Adaptation."
