Sebastian Zollner is searching for his big break. A failure as a journalist, a boyfriend, and a human being, he sets out to write the essential biography of the eccentric painter Manuel Kaminski. All he needs to do is ingratiate himself into Kaminski's family, wait for him to kick the bucket, and then reap the rewards. There's only one problem. Kaminski has an agenda of his own, an agenda that will send them on a wild-goose chase to places neither of them ever expected to go.
Told with Nabokovian wit and an edgy intelligence, Me and Kaminski is a shrewd send-up of art and journalistic pretensions from the internationally acclaimed author of Measuring the World.

Zollner [is], in spite of everything, an endearing character who is both comic and sympathetic. . . . Can be absorbed and thoroughly enjoyed in one sitting. Rocky Mountain News
Funny and surprisingly thoughtful. . . . Zollner touches on art and aging, truth and illusion and the stories we tell ourselves so we can keep going when the going s hard. St. Petersburg Times
[Zollner] is . . . amusingly distasteful, utterly unreliable, [and] recognizable to readers of Nabokov and his present-day disciples like Amis and Banville. . . . Philosophically and psychologically provocative. Bookforum

A singular book, barbed and compassionate, uproarious and touching. The Anniston Star
Witty, shrewd and smartly translated. The Guardian (London)
A bitingly funny meditation on memory, aging and death. The Free Lance-Star
[Me and Kaminski] will leave you breathless, caught between laughter and tears, pondering the Great Questions such as What is Art? The Putnam County Courier
Kehlmann has a sure eye for the pretensions of artists and critics. . . . [A] sparkling and consistently amusing comedy, by turns broad and sophisticated. The Telegraph (London)

[A] novel with brain and a heart [Kehlmann s] real masterpiece. Granta
By turns rollicking, witty and touching. . . . A real treat. The Howard County Times
A gleeful massacre of media presumptions and art-world pretensions. The Independent (London)
