Review: Foreskins Lament is a non-fictional coming of age story about Shalom Auslander, an Orthodox Jew raised in the 60s by a tyrannical father and a worried mother. He was taught to be very afraid of God and His wrath. Anything you do wrong, and the author lists them throughout the book, and someone dies, or someone is hurt. Shalom expects it at all.

But Auslander still believes. He believes, for example, that God keeps a particularly careful eye on his misdemeanors, and he is always expecting God to screw him over. Auslander writes about his fallings-out with both family and God in his very readable memoir Foreskin's Lament. (The reason for the title is made clear about halfway through the book.).
