{"product_id":"b0clmwr8vr","title":"Feh: A Memoir","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the acclaimed author of  Foreskin’s Lament , a memoir of the author’s attempt to escape the biblical story he’d been raised on and his struggle to construct a new story for himself and his family\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShalom Auslander was raised like a veal in a dysfunctional family in the Orthodox community of Monsey, New York: the son of an alcoholic father; a guilt-wielding mother; and a violent, overbearing God. Now, as he reaches middle age, Auslander begins to suspect that what plagues him is something worse, something he can't so easily escape: a story. The story. One indelibly implanted in him at an early age, a story that told him he is fallen, broken, shameful, disgusting, a story we have all been told for thousands of years, and continue to be told by the religious and secular alike, a story called Feh.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYiddish for Yuck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFeh  follows Auslander's midlife journey to rewrite that story, a journey that involves Phillip Seymour Hoffman, a Pulitzer-winning poet, Job, Arthur Schopenhauer, GHB, Wolf Blitzer, Yuval Noah Harari and a pastor named Steve in a now-defunct church in Los Angeles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCan he move from Feh to merely meh? Can he even dream of moving beyond that?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuslander's recounting of his attempt to exorcize the story he was raised with—before he implants it onto his children and\/or possibly poisons the relationship of the one woman who loves him—isn’t sacred. It is more-than-occasionally profane. And like all his work, it is also relentlessly funny, subversively heartfelt and fearlessly provocative.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":67924039696629,"sku":"YSL51086","price":7.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/8774\/8597\/files\/81EY48iXRVL._SY1500.jpg?v=1793672407","url":"https:\/\/www.newbooks.store\/products\/b0clmwr8vr","provider":"NewBooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
