Andrew Kaufman splits his time between downtown Toronto and the shores of Lake Huron. His work, including the cult-favorite novel All My Friends Are Superheroes, has won the Relit Award, been nominated for the Leacock Medal for Humour, and been listed among the best books of the year by The Globe and Mail. He works part-time at the Epiphany Detective Agency and in the office of the Shamrock Motel.
Praise for the author: ""Expansive and imaginative."" - Kirkus Reviews ""Irreverent and bursting prose...Fans of Mark Leyner will enjoy Kaufman's messy string of outrageous scenarios."" - Publishers Weekly ""All My Friends Are Superheroes is a breeze to read, as quick of wit and light on its feet as Spider-Man."" - Quill & Quire ""This book is like a kiss in the afternoon sun. Somebody should write Mr. Kaufman a letter and thank him for his tender heart and the way he puts things down so gently. I expect this story will replace boxes of chocolates and flowers in courting rituals to come."" - Sheila Heti ""Kaufman's greatest strength has always been his playfulness, and The Ticking Heart flexes that strength."" - Tara Cheesman, BARRELHOUSE ""Tender and brutal, optimistic and despairing, this modern fable by the author of the cult hit All My Friends Are Superheroes takes a fresh look at what it means to fall into, and out of, love."" - Hamilton Review of Books ""The Ticking Heart manages to use metaphor to encourage readers to consider the tangled mysteries of their own hearts - puffs of purple smoke not necessarily included."" - Quill & Quire
