Odenkirk actually thinks of this more as a ‘comic bildungsroman’, which is a label that’s more often applied to coming-of-age stories in a much more dramatic sense. 

Still, Odenkirk worked his way up to be a cult comedy legend then transitioned into being a celebrated dramatic actor and that journey will be an undeniably engrossing one. 

We’ll also be curious to see how, if at all, meta he gets in this first book.
