Audiobook Online – Antkind A Novel

Antkind is a novel by author Charlie Kaufman.
Antkind is a rich meditation on art, time, memory, identity, comedy, and the very nature of existence – the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.

Kaufman needs collaborators and a visionary editor. He’s like the fissile material in a nuclear weapon: shaped and guided he turns vast swaths of everyday emptiness into glowing, fraught, open fields. Left on his own he indiscriminately floods us with deadly noise and sinks into a pit of radioactive slag. I absolutely respect and admire him, which is why I hate this book.

The protagonist of this novel (who would repeatedly bore you with trite linguistic and literary commentary on the terms ‘protagonist’ and ‘novel’ and then on ‘terms’ and imply all gestures, transactions, or equivalences are somehow corrupt) isn’t an anti-hero, he is the denial of the possibility of maturity, an insistence on the inauthenticity of benevolence. With extra verbiage about racial and sexual injustice that is simultaneously so overwrought and counter to his actual choices that…

My God it tires me out. I quit 71 pages in. I love “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” and “Being John Malkovich”. Supported Anomalisa” on Kickstarter and the first minutes but both my wife and daughter admit it and I had to quickly detected what I only accepted reluctantly and queasily: just because something accurately displays stupid small behavior doesn’t make it , well, anything.

Which brings me back to Antville. It isn’t anything, so skip it. I hope Kaufman does more, and better, and floods us with light – clever, reactive, inviting and baleful, exposing potential and limitation, growth and decline. I’ll still give anything (else) he does a chance.
