A dazzling journey through memories past gives one girl the chance to save her grandfather–as long as she can find him in time. A graphic novel perfect for fans of Pashmina and Anya's Ghost. Cassi loves spending time with her grandfather. His games, songs, and stories have always brought her endless joy. This visit with him, though, is different: Grandpa seems to be losing track of things, including everything from the stories they’re sharing to who Cassi herself is. So when he goes missing after wandering off from his own backyard, Cassi knows she has to figure out where he’s gone. What she discovers is a world filled with memories, none of them her own. As she leaps from one memory to the next, she knows she’s getting closer and closer to finding her grandfather—but only if she can make sure he doesn’t slip away forever.

Complete with an exclusive interview conducted by volume editor Mathew Klickstein, Lloyd Kaufman: Interviews is an extensive deep-dive omnibus from one of cinema’s most indefatigably ardent auteurs who may make us all uproariously laugh but refuses to not be taken deadly seriously. After nearly fifty years of disrupting media, gleefully Rabelaisian uberindie filmmaker Lloyd Kaufman (b. 1945) has been maligned, mocked, and—worst of all— ignored throughout the general course of his wildly eclectic and impactful filmography. As the equally huckster-ish and self-denigrating cofounder and president of Troma Entertainment—responsible for the likes of such schlocky "midnight movie" fare as The Toxic Avenger, Sgt. Kabukiman N.Y.P.D., Surf Nazis Must Die, Class of Nuke ’ Em High, Tromeo and Juliet, and, most recently, #ShakespearesShitstorm—Kaufman has indisputably left his slimily viscous fingerprints on moviemaking throughout the past half century. Lloyd Kaufman: Interviews gathers together no-holds-barred commentaries, op-eds, Q&As, arguments, and retorts from the prodigious filmmaker. Considering the typical Troma film is known, if at all, for the brand’s signature egregious gore, unabashedly scandalous sexual fetishism, sophomoric scatology, and provocative contrarianism, it’s easy to understand why Kaufman and his (still metastasizing) oeuvre go without much notice in the mainstream trades or classroom discussions. Like a modern-day P. T. Barnum, if there’s one way that Kaufman finds a pragmatic hold on the cultural zeitgeist, it’s through his tsunamic deluge of often vivacious, often vulgar, often vicious, and often (most dangerous of all) presciently insightful speaking engagements and interviews provided at an almost manic pace across the globe.
