Shalom Auslander

Heinlein said in Stranger in a Strange Land that humor is based on what hurts. These stories are funny because Auslander's anger and hurt about the sorry state of the world and God's responsibility for it are so serious and real.

Peppered with mordant humor, Auslander's memoir of growing up Ultra Orthodox was a very enjoyable read

Excellent black humor.

This is a fun collection of stories. The various versions of God are hilarious, and the final story about the Golems convinced me that they're probably too much of a bother. While nothing is sacred in these stories, everything is funny. Highly recommended to people with a sense of humor. Not recommended to those easily offended by "blasphemy".
