The entire two weeks I spent reading this felt like a fever dream in the best way.
Charlie Kaufman's debut novel follows B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, the most neurotic, self-centered, 'ultra-woke' man in existence. His only crime? Being a straight white man. B. discovers a previously unseen three-month-long stop-motion film. He decides to share this film with the entire world, but it is destroyed, except for a single frame. The rest of the novel follows B.'s attempts to recover this film entirely from memory.
