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 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.
Those early years read like part Augusten Burroughs, part David
Sedaris, with a touch of Jim Carrol...but a lot more Jewish. In
fact, Kasher later spends time in a Brooklyn Hasidic community.
Then came addicition...
Brutally honest and laugh-out-loud funny, Kasher's first literary
endeavor finds humor in even the most horrifying situations.
