    "description": "<p>Shalom Auslander was raised with a terrified respect for God. 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&rsquo;t struggle daily with the fear of God&rsquo;s formidable wrath. Foreskin&rsquo;s Lament reveals Auslander&rsquo;s &ldquo;painfully, cripplingly, incurably, miserably religious&rdquo; youth in a strict, socially isolated Orthodox Jewish community, and recounts his rebellion and efforts to make a new life apart from it. His combination of unrelenting humor and anger renders a rich and fascinating portrait of a man grappling with his faith and family.</p>",
