Praise for FEH "Shalom Auslander is a truth teller whose punim you want to pinch. Feh is a dark, daffy chronicle of failure and disappointment. Feh inverts the old tagline 'never let them see you sweat'; it is all sweat on display, salty and messy, the exposed shirt stains of someone determined to be a bronze medalist even at the insecurity Olympics." -- The New York Times "Hurrah for one of our most merciless humorists. Auslander's prose isn't just laudable, it's frightening." -- David Sedaris "Auslander's literary career has been built on equal parts comedy, heterodoxy and self-loathing. His oeuvre is deliberately unsettling and funny.the persistent blackness of the book's black comedy makes the tiny shafts of light in the latter chapters shine that much brighter.

" -- The Washington Post "I howled with laughter." -The Sunday Times "A poignant, profane, and scabrously funny exploration.As Auslander attempts to exorcise his demons and rewrite his origin story in a more positive light, the book takes on a 'meta' flavor in line with the narrative we humans have been telling ourselves lately about the way we use storytelling to make sense of our lives." -- Associated Press "Auslander is one of America's sharpest comic provocateurs." -Jewish Chronicle "Auslander blends both a sense of despair and a self-deprecating whimsy in his latest .Part personal history, part self-examination, and part social commentary, his book addresses everything from Kafka to capitalism.A page-turning memoir that shouldn't be missed. It could motivate readers to keep trudging onward, even when life seems overwhelming.

" --Library Journal "Outrageously funny.With humor and heart-wrenching detail, Auslander confronts his deep-seated self-loathing and warns of how received stories can do psychological damage.The memoir is as iconoclastically funny as Auslander's fiction, but it's also reassuring." --Shelf Awareness "A poignant.study of the religious guilt.The result is an often-brutal, sometimes-rewarding journey out of the darkness." --LitHub.
