New Scientist brings a short report of Charlie's participation in the "Red Book Dialogues." Here's how it starts:

On Saturday, at New York City's Rubin Museum, Academy Award-winning screenwriter Charlie Kaufman (who wrote Being John Malkovich, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Adaptation) and Jungian psychoanalyst John Beebe took the stage and were handed an image that neither had seen before. It depicted a figure of a man with a ray of light flowing into (or out of) his chest, and a snake, its head reared, coiled around his feet. (Source)

An audience member asked Charlie to tell them a story based on the image, and what he came up with was pretty cool - like an ancient myth with a Kaufman-esque theme.

Thanks to Jon for sending along that link.

Update: Gould points us to a podcast of the event. COOL. Who would've guessed he has a phobia about bowling someone over with his car? Randomly: I know a guy who has a phobia about driving over bridges. He simply cannot do it, for fear that he'll get the urge to drive off the side, no kidding.
