A note for parents
This is an adult surreal road novel dealing with mortality, cancer, and existential themes rather than a children's or YA book. The protagonist is dying and searching for a deceased celebrity father, encountering supernatural and absurdist elements along the way. While not graphically violent, the mature themes, profanity, and dark tone make it unsuitable for younger readers.

In this surreal road novel, Anthony searches for the father he's never met: Andy Kaufman, the legendary song-and-dance man from the '70s. There's a few problems here, of course. Andy Kaufman died in 1984, and thanks to a recent cancer diagnosis, Anthony doesn't have much longer to live, either. However, new evidence has come to light that questions whether or not Kaufman is actually dead. Could he be in hiding, after all these years? Anthony is determined to discover the truth before his own clock runs out. During his travels, he will encounter shameless medicine men, grifters, Walmart shoppers, the ghosts of Elvis and Warhol, and the Devil himself.
