Non-Fiction Biography
From Bill Zehme, renowned journalist and author of the New
York Times bestseller The Way You Wear Your Hat: Frank
Sinatra and the Lost Art of Livin', comes this masterful
biography of the late comic genius Andy Kaufman. Based on six years of research, Andy's own unpublished,
never-before-seen writings, and hundreds of interviews with
family members, friends, and colleagues, Lost in the
Funhouse takes us through the maze of Kaufman's mind to see,
firsthand, the fanciful landscape that was his life. Andy Kaufman was often a mystery even to his closest
friends. Remote, aloof, impossible to know, his internal
world was a kaleidoscope of characters fighting for time on
the outside. He was as much Andy Kaufman as he was Foreign
Man (tenk you veddy much), who became the lovably dithering
Latka on the hit TV series Taxi. He was a contradiction, a
paradox on every level, an artist in every sense of the word. In Lost in the Funhouse, Bill Zehme sorts through a life of
misinformation put forth by a master of deception to uncover
the man behind the legend. Magically entertaining, it is a
singular biography matched only by its singular subject.
