We know Charlie Kaufman from his films, but it’s time to admit: he is still the author of “Adaptation” and “Eternal” radiances of pure reason” were constrained by the budget and limitations of the objective world. In his debut novel about a down-on-his-luck film critic, he throws off the shackles: a narrative that stretches back and forth millions of years, populated by fictional and real movie stars, robot Trump clones, speculation about Sokurov and Nolan, BDSM practices and caustic commentary on the #MeToo era. “Anthood” is a majestic and caustic puzzle novel that can be deciphered according to the model of T. Pynchon or D. F. Wallace, or you can dive into it headlong and submit to its psychedelic power.
