| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A darkly humorous memoir. Did I mention dark? |
| "Wow - they really did a number on you."
It's a line Auslander's wife and mine both say with a frightening regularity. Perhaps that's why I immediately resonated with this book, despite my lack of Orthodox Jew-ness, growing up in a completely different environment (West Virginia instead of New York) and other massive differences. Then again, I was raised Catholic and have worn a Flying Spaghetti Monster T-shirt to Mass. Under a sweater, just in case someone (human or divine) noticed and decided to strike me down. The humor I found was not the humor of slapstick or manners. It is the humor of deep, dark irony. It's the wry smile as the last thing that could go wrong *does* go wrong. This is a darkly humorous book, and painfully honest. The zingers are real - but they apply to you more than you think. You can either laugh or cry. One thing is for sure. God is laughing. Even if He doesn't exist. |
