Monson received a prestigious Guggenheim Award to write this book in 2017. “In his first memoir, Ander Monson guides readers through a scene-by-scene exploration of the 1987 film Predator , which he has watched 146 times.

Praise for the book includes: “An unlikely treatise on manhood with the charm of a late-night movie marathon” (Kirkus); “One of the more fascinating and eccentric books I’ve read this decade” (Jeff VanderMeer); and “This is a book filled with ideas and also an intensely personal book, one that only Ander Monson could have written—with his wit, honesty, and considerable powers of insight” (Charles Yu).
