Author:
Shalom Auslander
Publisher:
Riverhead Books
Date:
July 23, 2024
A memoir of the author's attempt to escape the biblical story he'd been raised on and his struggle to construct a new story for himself and his family.
What The Reviewers Say
A cynic in the world never runs out of material, and Auslander doesn’t always hone or organize it well. But the persistent blackness of the book’s black comedy makes the tiny shafts of light in the latter chapters shine that much brighter..
A dark, daffy chronicle of failure and disappointment.
Poignant, profane, and scabrously funny..
Sad-but-funny.
