Synopsis
Shalom Auslander's stories have the mysterious punch of a dream: a pious man having a near-death experience discovers that God is actually a chicken, and is forced to reconsider his life – and his diet. Leo Schwartzman searches Home Depot for supplies for an ark. And a young boy mistakes Holocaust Remembrance Day as emergency-preparedness training for the future.
Auslander draws upon his Orthodox Jewish upbringing to craft stories that are filled with shame, sex, God and death.

‘Absurd juxtapositions, dead-pan delivery and wryly sharp observations …Lovingly blasphemous stories, crackling with irreverence’
The Times
‘A fearlessly entertaining book, riffing on sex, death and shame’
Observer
‘Rumbustious…Playful …Brilliant’
