Английская Википедия:Andrew Kaufman
Шаблон:About Шаблон:Use dmy datesШаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer Andrew Kaufman (born 1968) is a Canadian writer, film director, and radio producer, best known for novels which incorporate aspects of genre literature, such as fantasy, superhero and detective novels, with humor.[1]
Born and raised in Wingham, Ontario, Kaufman regularly promotes himself as the second most famous and/or second best writer to come from Wingham, as the town was also the birthplace of Alice Munro.[1]
Career
Kaufman was a revolving cast member of the Perpetual Motion Roadshow.[2]
His debut novella, All My Friends Are Superheroes, was published by Coach House Books in 2003, and is a humorous love story between a normal man and a super-heroine, The Perfectionist. The novella is set in a community of superheroes in Toronto, in which the bizarre characters (The Seeker, The Inverse, BusinessMan etc.) actually personify different human types.[2] A 10th anniversary edition with added bonus material was released in April 2013.
He has since published five more novels. His 2013 novel, Born Weird, was shortlisted for the Stephen Leacock Memorial Medal for Humour.[3] His 2010 novel, The Tiny Wife, won the 2015 ReLit Award for Novel.[4] Small Claims and The Ticking Heart were shortlisted for the same award.[5][6]
