Kasher in the Rye
Autor Moshe Kasheren Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 sep 2023
“The finest, most moving and powerful memoir I have ever read.”—MAYIM BIALIK
Rising young comedian Moshe Kasher is lucky to be alive. He started using drugs when he was just 12. At that point, he had already been in psychoanlysis for 8 years. By the time he was 15, he had been in and out of several mental institutions, drifting from therapy to rehab to arrest to...you get the picture. But Kasher in the Rye is not an "eye opener" to the horrors of addiction. It's a hilarious memoir about the absurdity of it all.
When he was a young boy, Kasher's mother took him on a vacation to the West Coast. Well it was more like an abduction. Only not officially. She stole them away from their father and they moved to Oakland , California. That's where the real fun begins, in the war zone of Oakland Public Schools. He was more than just out of control-his mother walked him around on a leash, which he chewed through and ran away.
Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Kasher's first literary endeavor finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.

Recenzii
"Hysterical,
heartbreaking,
flat-out
hilarious...after
KASHER
IN
THE
RYE,
Moshe
Kasher
will
no
longer
be
known
just
as
a
brilliant,
cutting
edge
young
comic,
but
as
a
genuine
monster
writer
of
the
highest
order.
Think
Holden
Caulfield
on
dope
and
bagels,
with
a
side
of
crime
and
insane
asylums.
This
is
the
kind
of
book
that
makes
you
want
to
wake
up
everyone
you
know
at
three
in
the
morning
and
scream
at
them
to
read.
Little
Moshe
Kasher
lived
a
life
no
one
should
have
to
endure,
and
we're
lucky
he
survived
to
write
about
it.
He
is
living
proof
that
whatever
doesn't
kill
you
makes
you
funnier.
I
fucking
loved
this
book."--Jerry
Stahl,New

"Moshe Kasher is a comic genius. In his memoir, KASHER IN THE RYE, he is able to perform an act of comedic magic which is reserved only for the true greats, such as Richard Pryor, Lenny Bruce, and Mitch Hedberg. Kasher's memoir will take you on a dark and hilarious journey of drugs, alcohol, and madness. But, by the time you reach the end of this book, you will be filled with hope and inspiration that even the most vulnerable can find redemption and recovery." --Artie Lange, #1New York Timesbestselling author ofToo Fat to Fish
"Out of all the Hip Hop Jewish kids I know with deaf Orthodox parents, Kasher is the funniest. This book is thoughtful, touching, a bit harrowing and hilarious. Don't shy away because his name is Moshe, it's not too 'Jewy'.Emmis." --Marc Maron, comedian and host of the WTF podcast
"Travelling the hard road from teenage addiction to recovery, from lost boy to human being, Moshe Kasher tells it straight. His book over-brims with bravado and heart-breaking awareness, and with an authenticity that rings so true it's shattering. Frank and, above all, funny, this book is a marvel. I couldn't put it down." --M.A.C. Farrant, author ofMy TurquoiseYears & reviewer forToronto Globe & Mail
