Foreskin's lament : a memoir

A New York Times Notable Book, and a 'chaotic, laugh riot' (San Francisco Chronicle) of a memoir. 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 Jewish 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.

  • "Les tribulations d'un Juif new-yorkais, Shalom Auslander, face à son éducation juive orthodoxe, et son rapport à Dieu : un Dieu omniprésent qui l'a empêché d'être heureux. Un Dieu omnipotent qui va probablement le punir. A l'annonce de la grossesse de sa femme, Shalom se pose une question obsédante : quel sort doit-il réserver au prépuce de son enfant ?"

  • "An account of the author's youth in a strict Orthodox community describes his dysfunctional family's vengeful personification of God, his exile to reform school after a childhood misdemeanor, and his efforts to make sense of his religious beliefs while connecting with the outside world."
