lindsayb 's review for:

Is This Guy for Real?: The Unbelievable Andy Kaufman by Box Brown

5.0

---

I loved Box Brown's Andre the Giant, and I loved Is This Guy for Real?...I think I just love all of his comics that incorporate wrestling. But really, this one I loved because it got me thinking about Andy Kaufman, how I don't know if I love him or hate him, which is exactly what he intended, and it got me thinking about art and the art of pushing boundaries. This doesn't answer any questions, but I love that about this, too. I'm almost kinda bummed that I read this as part of Day One in the #24in48 Readathon because I had to just jump into my next read instead of giving myself time right after to think about all these Big Ideas, but my mind will certainly go there now that I've turned the timer off for today.

Many thanks to First Second and Net Galley for an advanced copy of this book.
