Antkind: A Novel (Featuring Kris Krainock)

On the 137th episode of Piecing It Together, we do something that we've never done before... Cover a book! But it's not that surprising that I'd want to talk about Charlie Kaufman's first novel on the show, considering he's the writer of my favorite movie Adaptation and a number of other films I love. Joining me is returning co-host Kris Krainock who did a great job of filling in the literary gaps with some puzzle pieces I'd have never been able to come up with unless I had another decade or two to read some more books... Did I mention I'm a slow reader?

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Antkind and the movies and books we discuss!
