Auslander is the author of the short story collection Beware of God and the acclaimed novel Hope: A Tragedy.
Nominated for the Koret Award for writers under thirty-five, he has published articles in Esquire, The New York Times Magazine, Tablet, The New Yorker, and has had stories aired on NPR\'s This American Life.
About the Author: Shalom Auslander was raised in Monsey, New York.
His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family.
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.
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.
Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God.
