This week, we’re returning to a conversation with Charlie Kaufman, recorded in 2020. Kaufman is the Oscar-winning screenwriter behind some of the most inventive films of recent years, including “Adaptation”, “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”, and “Being John Malkovich”.  He’s also directed films including “Synecdoche, New York”.  His work often explores human memory and consciousness, with a style frequently described as surreal.  At the time of this conversation in 2020, Kaufman had just published his debut novel “Antkind”.  On July 13, 2020, Charlie Kaufman discussed the book and his films with Andrew Sean Greer, who won the Pulitzer Prize for his comic novel “Less”.
