Summary

Over the past two decades, The Toxic Avenger has achieved the status of cult icon. Discerning fans around the world have followed "Toxie's" adventures through four films, an animated feature, a Saturday-morning cartoon series, comic books, action figures, and more. His name has been used by everyone from the Environmental Protection Agency to the U.S. Army to PETA; he appears in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade; and his creator, Lloyd Kaufman, is claimed as an influence by directors like Peter Jackson and Quentin Tarantino. Now Kaufman has set aside his video camera and unleashed his twisted brilliance on the artistic form of Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Faulkner, and Mitch Albom. And to put it simply, Kaufman has blown those jokers out of the water. Readers who dare to crack the spine of this book will experience the gamut of human emotion (and then some): laughter, tears, and perhaps even vomiting and spontaneous ejaculation. With more girl-on-girl action than an episode of Springer, more blood-soaked bad taste than an After School Special, and with special "guest narrators" such as J. D. Salinger and Oliver Stone, The Toxic Avenger oozes hilarity on every page.

Author Biography

Lloyd Kaufman is the founder and president of Troma Entertainment, the oldest and, arguably, the longest-running independent film studio in history.

Kaufman has written, produced, and/or directed more than twenty-five films, including The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman NYPD, Terror Firmer, and Tromeo and Juliet, and he is the author of two best-selling books, Make Your Own Damn Movie! and All I Need to Know About Filmmaking I Learned from the Toxic Avenger. He lives in New York City with his wife, Pat, who is the New York Film Commissioner.
