Kaufman's storytelling feels deliberately disjointed and layered—did he draw from personal experiences or specific artistic influences? I'm curious about how he decided on this approach.

The book's humor is sharp, but beneath it, there’s a sense of existential dread that made me reflect on how far people go for art and recognition. What was your take on this balance?

The novel is filled with film industry jokes and references—did they enhance the narrative or make it more niche? I’d love to hear how others experienced this layering.
