From Publishers Weekly The brilliantly subversive comedian Andy Kaufman is remembered today not only for his ability to make people laugh but also for his unnerving blend of shock humor and high-concept performance art. Fifteen years after Kaufman's death from lung cancer at the age of 35 his close friend and collaborator Zmuda unveils an intimate portrait of the enigmatic performer. In 1972 Zmuda then a struggling writer/comedian first saw Kaufman perform at New York's Improv as Foreign Man a lovable dork who after bombing miserably on stage would burst into a dead-on impersonation of Elvis Presley. Foreign Man would become Kaufman's signature act leading to regular appearances on Saturday Night Live and a role as Latka on the TV sitcom Taxi. Yet Kaufman according to Zmuda often grew bored with celebrity and constantly pushed the comic envelope: inventing an alter ego the swaggering foul-mouthed lounge singer Tony Clifton; taking a Hollywood audience out for milk and cookies a concept for which Zmuda claims credit; going on tour to wrestle college-age women an idea apparently dreamed up by Kaufman in order to get women to sleep with him. Kaufman's unpredictability was such that audiences never knew whether or not they were in on the joke; when the comedian succumbed to cancer many wondered whether he was faking it. Zmuda reveals some long-kept secretsAincluding the truth about the infamous feud with wrestler Jerry Lawler which landed Kaufman in the hospital. Although Zmuda touches upon Kaufman's obsessive-compulsive behavior and the possibility that he might have exhibited a form of multiple personality disorder this highly absorbing memoir will be read less for its insights into Kaufman's psyche than for the immediacy with which it recounts his brief but blazing career. Sept. FYI: The Andy Kaufman craze continues this fall as Universal Pictures releases the Andy Kaufman biopic Man on the Moon directed by Milos Forman and starring Jim Carrey. In November Delacorte will publish Lost in the Fun House: The Life and Mind of Andy Kaufman by Bill Zehme. Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information Inc. Little Brown & Company Hardcover
