The bold and original debut novel from an Oscar®-winning screenwriter introduces B. Rosenberger Rosenberg, a neurotic and underappreciated film critic with a colorful past as a failed academic, filmmaker, and shoe salesman. He discovers an unseen film by a reclusive outsider—a three-month-long stop-motion masterpiece that took ninety years to create. Believing it could redefine cinema and his career, B. is determined to share it with the world. However, the film is destroyed, leaving him as the sole witness to its ephemeral genius. With only a single frame remaining, B. embarks on a surreal journey through his Kafkaesque psyche, grappling with a reality increasingly dominated by social media and cultural chaos. As he struggles to reconstruct the lost masterpiece, he confronts his self-imposed victimhood and the absurdities of a world obsessed with "likes" and arbitrary judgments. This narrative serves as a searing critique of contemporary society, offering a richly layered meditation on art, memory, identity, and the essence of existence—the grain of truth at the heart of every joke.
