Summary of Foreskin's Lament: A Memoir
A New York Times Notable Book, and a ?chaotic, laugh riot?(San Francisco Chronicle) of a memoir? first time in trade paperback.Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. Even as he grew up and was estranged from his community, his religion and its traditions, he could not find the path to a life where he didn?t struggle daily with the fear of God?s formidable wrath. Foreskin?s Lament reveals Auslander?s ?painfully, cripplingly, incurably, miserably religious? youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family.
