Feh: A Memoir

I'd say this book was profound, but after a promising beginning, it becomes wearingly repetitive. I'd say it's funny, but the author's shtick quickly gets tiresome.I'd say he's a self-hating (formerly Orthodox) Jew, but he's not very kindly disposed towards Christians either. If you want to skip 350 pages of Auslander's kvetching (complaining), here's the premise: the Bible stories we're told as children and the information we continue to consume as adults teach us that humanity is feh (i.e., we suck). The cure for this indoctrinated misery? Tell each other better stories. Considering that Auslander's earlier memoir is called [b:Foreskin's Lament 50902 Foreskin's Lament Shalom Auslander https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442421923l/50902.SY75.jpg 610736], I'm not sure his stories are the ones I want as my #lifegoals. I'd say if you're looking for Philip Roth without the misogyny, or Woody Allen without the creepy pedo stuff, you might appreciate Feh, but do we really need another neurotic New York Jewish male voice right now?
