With Eli Horowitz, McSweeney's

Shalom Auslander (Foreskin’s Lament, Beware of God) may be America’s funniest, most controversial young Jewish author. His cutting, comically anxious spiels “approximate what David Sedaris would sound like if his neuroses revolved entirely around matters of Orthodox Judaica.” (Esquire) His new novel, Hope: A Tragedy, is the darkly hilarious story of a neurotic, obsessive, yet relentlessly optimistic Jewish compost salesman searching for a fresh start, but finding it hard to leave the past behind.

“Even at his most rebellious, Portnoy-era Roth couldn’t hold a candle to Auslander.”
– Entertainment Weekly
